p2 forks- always a winner

I would ride it for a while and see what you feel needs upgrading

but as kirby said ...p2 forks are the way to go with the kona's

cheap road/town tyres and with some puncture protection best ones for me have been schwalbe city jet tyres normally around 20-25 a pair

just an example but shop around

just choose the 1.5 x 26 (to thin for me) or the 26 x 1.95

from time to time they do amberwall city jets to maintain the retro look

It's a 1997 Lava Dome, actually size 16 not 17 as stated in the listing, and seems quite a bargain really.

I would think you need to wait and see what you've got, and what state the parts are in, before deciding on upgrade priorities
