I don't think these have been in here yet- Kona Bikes rolling papers- I only use em in emergencies.

I remember when these came out. Talk about a mixed reception!

I had a 1997 gilet and the 2000 jersey. Ebayed them years ago for not much money and now regret it!

About 15-20 yrs ago I had an off and broke my collar bone. The hospital had to cut my new Kona t-shirt which i was a bit gutted about. The break was the start of a bit of a rough period in life which thankful is now long behind me. Yesterday i got a replacement t-shirt delivered which feels a bit like closure

Not retro but I believe this is a bit of a rare one, issued for an event at the Austrian bike park Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis.

Hey I’m new to the forums and came across this post and saw this Kona chat and I thought I’d drop a comment and photo to show

Welcome! Nice jerseys.

Ive joined Retrobike after seeing this thread about the Kona jerseys collection.
I’m using the web to research a Collection of items that have originated directly from the MTB DH world championships teams, Great British cycling ,Redbull,Ms Evil & Mondraker 2003 and upwards.
The items are things produced by Alpinestars for example the teams kits and a collection of signed & unsigned professional DH racers jerseys.
I’ve seen folks on here have posted about jerseys they own in their collections of memorabilia and also for sale and wanted posts.
Im hoping the community enthusiasts and collectors of retro bike can help me with any information I can’t find online regarding the items of memorabilia and what kind of items collectors are interested in just to gain some insight from a collectors point of view.

Welcome aboard. Might be worth starting a new topic as many could miss it hidden away in the Kona thread.I've got the short sleeved version of the orange/yellow jersey (should clarify just the retail version, not the proper team one you've shown) you posted above. The long sleeve variant is nice!

Thank you
I did have the full body set but sold it before I realised what I’d actually got unfortunately
I’ve got reason to believe they belonged to T Mosley from a very good source I must say.

Ummm start a new topic now theres a challenge! I did away with Facebook several years ago and now find myself lacking the skills to navigate the world on a phone.
If I manage to actually start a topic I hope to see you on the other side if only to point me in the right direction appreciate your time Thank you

I was about to say, this looks like it could be from the race team. To the best of my knowledge it's from the 06-07 season. Tracy's stuff was generally pretty baggy, as was the trend back then for DH.

These don't come out together that often. And yes there's a ton more
