Old Kona Hei Hei

Hi All... (I'm sure we're past the cutoff for happy new year)

Thought I'd throw this one up for critique. I think its a '95 near as I can tell. Got the frame a while ago and have put together a suitable (to my mind) period build.

I don't have the cake to go NOS so usually rely on what I have in my stash and this would be the end result. Judy XC SL, Ti bits, cooks, etc.

have a look and feel free to comment.

Beautiful! But the blue decals tells me it might be a '96.

very nice indeed, looks purposeful and all the individual component choices have come together very well!
Oh and its a 96 model.

Re:

Nike build.
Hope to see it out at Toxik Harald's Annual Show in May.
We are showcasing titanium bikes this year.

Looks really nice.

If the decals are original then it is likely as above, a '96, probably an early one as they went to v-brakes in late '96.

Perhaps the pinnacle of frame design to me. Lovely.

I see that this frame is not featured on the Kona Titanium Serial Number list. I would very much like to add it if I may. Could you take a picture of the Serial Number please, and perhaps send it in a Private Message (Conversations) if you'd prefer not to parade it on this thread.

As Mk One highlighted, the Frame is an early 1996 model.
