Yes, they made one of these.
Will post some close ups of the dropouts.
The story is that this bike was raffled after a bikeshow by kona, it has been for sale in 2008 and popped up in 2012 on mtbr.
A few months ago it popped up on fb and i reached out to the owner and he was happy to sell it to me after i told him that i was searching for this bike last 12 years

Anyway, I believe that have come up with the best compromise:

EDIT: Rightyho, I have at last rattled off a piece with regards to my view on dating these Custom frames. I thought it best not to clutter up Niels thread, so please follow the link:
