Gee, sorry not to have remembered the first post, 25 pages back and two years ago . . . But keep up with the condescension -- it always works well on the internet.

Dude, chill. There's a lol and wink, it's all good!

This reminds me of Pip. He used to get so narked that folks would ask the same questions again and again without searching or looking at the front page.

In the end he'd calm down and we'd have a virtual giggle about it. Good times

Big up @swannymere for spotting







On record, this is the current pneultimate 20" 1992 Hei Hei. It has, by all accounts the ti Velocity stem and bars. The seatpost is titanium but it's not an O-Beam. It's still got it's noodle and has had a good life

B20426 - Pre-Bullet, Canti Bridge, Long Seat Tube extension, Rear Brake Noodle complete, top tube and seat tube decals missing. Kona ti Velocity stem and bars.

yes just saw that one on FB too - unclear why you would put an RM headtube decal on it

Well... there are enough direct links between the companies. It's a bold choice nevertheless!

I forgot to post this last year, but randomly found out that an old friend has this sweet King Kahuna with interesting paint and disc tabs. I need to find out some more info on it, serial #, etc.

Nice work folks. I've added the following:

B20089 - Bullet, Long Seat Tube extension, Rocky Mountain head-tube decal. No other remaining decals.

This is now the earliest 1993 20" HH on record.

B19731 - Bullet, Short Seat Tube Extension, 1995 cable routing, 1998 reproduction decals (possibly Kona originals)

We love a sequential SN, and this 1994 sits just after B19732 The decals look high quality and since this was owned from new and raced a bit, I'm hedging my bets they are Kona original decals.
