When I was getting the bike together I found the original MBUK review which I posted out last week to anyone interested: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/kona-kilauea-from-mbuk-march-95.471918/

Many thanks for the feedback. As it happens I’ve a road bike up on eBay at the mo which I’ve had to drop the price on as it isn’t selling. This Kona however is a bit more desirable so not sure I want to risk going down this route and getting little for it. Not sure really…

Okay, you got me. A road bike from 2004 isn’t exactly retro, nor, being a Schwinn of its time, particularly desirable to many. But before I reluctantly advertise this great ride on eBay, or worse break down into parts, I’d like to share this quality smooth weld metallic red frame and bikes...
