Read a Kona serial number?

[Andy R]

That downtube weld looks quite rough - and is the LH crank bonded on?

Dropouts are the same the '91 Fire Mountain and '92 Cindercone I've had, and as mentioned, the rack mounts pierce the seat stays, which is different to the '91 & '92 I had. Both of these also had an ovalised seat tube at the BB.

When he gave it to me, he said the BB cartridge was seized in, I`ve yet to do any work on it, but that crank does look suspicious! Could be a big job...

Thanks for trying to help boys, Most appreciated!

That and the colour coded BB axle. :shock:

Might need the LGF guide to BB extraction.

'F' at the start of the serial number indicates it was made by Fairly Bike Company in Taiwan.
