Long Lost Kona Hot

Recently while chatting with a former co-worker from a few decades back I asked whatever happened to that Hot I sold you. Now I thought it had been sold, stolen, whatever, but to my surprise he still had it hanging in a shed. I purchased this frame, a Teesdale made with Tange Prestige and the fluted downtube, in the early to mid-90's. I worked for a Kona dealer that spawned one of the founders, and I considered this my 1st build that was somehow above all the others. My best guess is it was a 92 or 93 and the only reason I sold it was for an EP Hei Hei (more on that later). I have a # from the current owner, considering.

Any chance he'll sell it back to you?
As stated above he did give me a number, kind of higher than it might be worth considering condition. The frame has lived a typical MTB life and would need restoration. Rust spots, a dent in the top tube, and the seat post is frozen.
