Maybe a poll needed for guesses, pint for the winner

Is it a Zaskar?

I knew someone would…..

Glad to oblige.

Right, done with that one now. I will use the parts and offer the frame for Karma t anyone interested.
Just picked up another old Kona though...this is old, grubby, lowly but honest and the S/N makes easier reading.

Clearly built in 1992 but a 93 model. So would you call this a 1992 or 1993 Fire Mountain?

Really late to the party here but I think the bike at the beginning of the thread really is a Kona!
I just pulled a 2002 Fire mountain frame out of my shed this evening for my son to start a resto mod on and there are a lot of similarities including the SF prefix serial number and seat clamp. I'll post some pics later if anyone wants them

Hi, Thanks for the message I think we did decide it was a 2002 Fire Mountain that some rascal had rebadged. It actually also had a damaged bottom bracket thread so scrap really but fortunately the parts were worth what I paid for it. I still have it lying about somewhere, must take it to the dump.
