My new Lava Dome - help IDing please!

[elPedro666]

Hi, I just received a very very nice frame from Glorfingal (top fella ), and wanted to find out a little more about it. Believed to be a Lava Dome, the frame number is F908 ? 967 (the ? may be a digit missing under a chip ).

Always wanted a steel Kona - educate me!

Thanks,
Pete

A photo or even a crude drawing on some paper would really help Anthony

I wager some self satisfaction on it being a 96 . Anyone want to meet my bet ?

This could be tougher than it looks,
The top tube hydraulic line fitting were`nt standard and have been added at a later date probably for Maguras.
The brazed on seat post clamp lugs were used until 1992 (1993 used a removable clamp) but these may have been added at the same time as the hydraulic lugs.

Is there a 6mm threaded hole in the underside of the bottom bracket for the "Grease Sealer" nipple ?

Would look great with Tomac maguras ( the red ones .)

Perry - shut it, brakes are on their way :x

There is a threaded hole, but it's in use

That was quick.
The grease sealer nipple held the BB cable guide in place but when the BB wore out the nipple was replaced with a bolt.
