I bought it new from a shop in Hamburg, Germany. It was my third Kona from the shop but, this one was all custom and wasn't sold as a complete set-up.
The frame in the photos is as I bought it with no alterations. I also chose all the parts myself.
The only thing that has changed is the fork...
Thank you for all the insight and input concerning the bike; it reminded me why I loved riding mountain bikes in the late 80s and early 90s...the people and the community :D
That said, I'll see if I can take some photos of the tubes later today.
At this point, do you all think it makes more...
I'm looking to sell this 1998 Kona Hot and would like to know what you think it's worth.
Frame size 16" (41cm)
