retro kona, what's the best model ?

You might consider a Hot or Ku (if you can find one!), Cinder Cone, Kula, Kilauea or a Hei Hei if you can't find an explosif. Kind of depends if you are looking for a steel frame, or would consider alloy or ti (I'm quite sure you wouldn't mind ti.) Knowing what frame material you prefer will help us make suitable suggestions

Why not get something properly high end for Kona money?

I have a complete 1990 16" Cinder Cone (white with splatter) with original parts which I've stripped for cleaning and reassembly...
Was going to be a project for my daughter but she's not interested - the youth of today :?
Not in A1 condition but straight with no dings/dents and even has original tyres.
Not ready yet, but if it's the kind of thing you are after let me know.

ive been riding a 1995 kula which i built using just the frame,and i cant complain ,its superb in everyway,,,bear in mind that konas do tend to be small made,mines a 19" and iam only 5 foot 6 so i really should be riding a 17 " but i find the !9" kula great and thats with a good bit of seat post raised too.the ultimate must be the titanium HEi HEi but they still fetch big money and thats if you can find one.
