Stunning Kona Koa 99% original 1997

[graham1975]

This is my new purchase, 10hr round trip to collect it yesterday.
This bike is completely original and as it was when bought new, except the grips, i have the barends for it just need to put them on.
Original Sniff and scratch tyres, and original brake blocks and reflectors too.

Lovely looking Kona, that colour, as on 94 Cindercones and 96 Lavadomes I think, has got to be one of my all time favourites!

Lovely, I would keep it original as that is a timewarp condition. Lovely.

Beautiful. And I agree with coomber - leave it as it is and enjoy it.

For those of us admiring this with much interest but ignorance, please would you give some more details of specification and components.
