Kona King Kahuna

[Kona Paul]

17" year 2000. A few of the usual chainsuck marks on the driveside chainstay, otherwise in great shape. Threads for BB and rear mech are tip top.

£675 posted from Copenhagen.

And I thought you'd never sell!

 

[Kona Paul]

Ha ha, but I have two. I don't really want to, kind of hoping no one will buy it, but as I'm only riding the one, it seems kind of greedy to have one just hanging around. :? The Score and the other KK will never leave me though!

Tempting....

If I was to buy this I'd have to sell my beloved 1998 Explosif......

 

[Kona Paul]

That's a tough choice. I love the "bad blue" colour. If I had to pick a Kona other than a KK, Explosif would be at the top of the list...or top three anyway. Hmm Reynolds 853 or Sandvik 3/2.5 ti...??

853 or Sandvik

You've hit the nail on the head. For longevity and ride feel it has to be Sandvik. Living in Sheffield though, it has to be steel!

My friend has a King Kahuna and loves it but my new family commitments stop me from investing in another bike. I don't think I can part with the Explosif.

Sorry

 

[Kona Paul]

No problem. It's better to have two than have to part with a beloved friend. I couldn't do it either, which is why I'll soon have four :? Maybe I'l change my name to Paul-max-4-bikes just as a reminder not to get more!

 

[Kona Paul]

Oh I shouldn't mention I just got an 18" steel Cinder Cone. You'll hate me for that...

 

[iperattivo]

very beatiful frame ....can you tell me the measure of the top tube centre-centre please ?

 

[Kona Paul]

She is a beauty. Amore mio! Top tube is 22.5" c to c. There might be a difference in price to Milano due to shipping. I would have to check out the costs. That is if you are interested. This frame should suit somebody up to roughly 5'10" or 176 cm, depending on your tastes.
