Excellent - do you have any links or information about that last point?

Information comes from the seller: he bought the bike from Wilfried Straub. This rider existed in the 90s, he recently became gravel world champion, but I have no proof whether the story is true. Supposedly the 1992 Hei Hei was given as a prize for winning the championship. I will ask Wilfried.

Kona Hei Hei 1992
B17310

Thank goodness we know that the high 200's onwards make it a 1992 given there are no original decals left. The 1997 decals look highly original, so it's great to see it was well used throughout it's life in the 90s.

B17310 - Pre-Bullet, Canti Bridge, Long Seat Tube extension, Rear Brake Noodle complete. Original decals missing. Genuine 1997 yellow downtube decals and sponsor decals.

Full Dura Ace 7400 groupset (excluding seat post) works flawlessly. In excellent condition for its age, although the lever hoods are a little worn.
