Kona Kilauea???

[Reluctant]

That really isn't what it claims to be. There's something very wrong going on at the drive-side drop out too, looks like it's using an SIS hanger to hold the mech on. Well shoddy. Do you think the paint pot it's leaning on is what he painted the bike with? :?
Anything that can be done to prevent some poor punter getting burned?

As he states that it is "MODELLED ON THE ORIGINAL 90'S KONA KILAUEA" in the add, you could simply ask "What bike is the frame actually from, if it is "MODDELLED ON THE ORIGINAL 90'S KONA KILAUEA"?

Is there a way of forcing a question to be publicly viewable in eBay?

I asked:

Hi there,
I see the Kona stickers but I was wondering if you could let me know what frame this bike is based on?
Thanks,
Phil.

Seller replied:

Hi Phil,
The frame is the original 90's frame thats why it kind of looks like a hybrid bike. I bought this bike unfinished off a guy and just needed to add some bits and re build it. If you have any other questions please feel free to email me. Thanks.

The seller would appear to genuinely believe that it is a Kona frame.

But it's not a Kilauea though, is it?

 

[taffy]

no it's a specialized - not sure what but a 92 or 93 steel one.

Should the auction not be reported then?
I might do it when I'm back at my laptop.... I'm on the phone at the minute...
