my exact is in perfect condition. Wouldn't swap for the complete range of kona's. Picked up a revolt softie, looked liked it had done a few circuits yet rides perfect. Wouldn't swap that for the previous years kona's

Just need to replace the endcap on the handlebar and fix the headbadge. And yes that is a mint sauce top cap

So if Kona and Sunn have imperfection in welds (my Sunn have been sold and I now own a Marin 96 and a Scott 93) the best of near all choices should be Rocky Mountain. Mine (2006 -7 both) have perfect welds and amazing paint job one in white -electric blue and the other in grey and black. I love so much that I near forget the retro stuff and modern. I´m considering to sold some modern stuff only because I like more this two RM.

I came across this comment and just thought to write that I agree with this view too.

Sunn built some truly amazing steel bikes with a selection of tubing that was very sophisticated like excel 0.7 - 0.5 -07 as you can see in their catalogues. But the quality of the welds are not there.

Came across this one recently. It's from an exact:

Hi, i'm very happy to be there after a long time and the time i was after 96 explosif frames ! I had three and broke two.
This 97 exact frame is mine!
just rode it once to recall the feeling 26 years ago when i experiment the stunning ride of it.
it was badly painted by the previous owner.
to have a real idea of the welding, you'll have to strip off the paint.
I am sure it's a very good work;
handcrafted in St Gaudens France, i spoke to the welder on the phone!
columbus nemo tubes; fantastic ride;
same size when i was young, but now i feel it really too small !
sorry for my poor english...
