Welcome Thakrm nice to see such a large no. of Ku's here in the forum which are situated in Austria. As said originally we had 4 of them - one was sold to a fellow RB member to the UK meanwhile. Must be that mountainbiker had a soft spot for Konas and especially the KU's (also cause he was Kona main distributer for Austria that years). I guess you specified what parts you wanted to have with the frame and they fitted the parts to the frame. Seemed that your choice of parts doin the trick, as after all the years everything is still working well

Yes, i bought it a Mountainbiker in Vienna. Actually i got it for my

Yes, I got it for my 15th Birthday in 1997. It was bought at Mountainbiker in Vienna. Been using it eversince, so yes - It's well used and has a lot of mileage. Still has all the original parts, just changed the pedals and the saddle. I'll see If I can find some older pics as well. Cheers

This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing this with us. Please could you measure the total length of the seat-tube so we can confirm the size. I've guessed 19" because of the gap between the top and bottom tube on the headtube, but all the other Ku SNB's are 18" Of the 4 sold in Austria, this is the first with early 1997 cable routing.

I love that it still has the original components, and what an amazing set-up that was in 1996/7/8. Some birthday present that's for sure! If you've any pictures of it and you from back in the day, that'd be ace to see

K09606099 19" 1997 cable routing, 1996 decals - Stars 'n' Bars - welded '96 June number 99 (Thakrm). Originally purchased from Mountainbiker in Vienna (4th Stars 'n' Bars from Austria)

Sooooo, with the help of a couple of awesome fellow Retro Bikers on here (I won’t name them as I don’t want them to be bombarded with similar requests, but if they want to make them selves known that’s up to them), I managed to grab this ‘little beauty’ and ship her from Canada to West Sussex, England.

She’s not been very well looked after and I knew she was going to need a respray (but beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to a Ku - especially a 98 one).

I’ve been changing my mind daily about what colour to paint her but now I’ve received her I’m definitely going to get the original colour matched and restore her to her original glory.

Pic of the serial number which I think is: H9A00480

Will start a build thread and update as I go
