Hi..I remember seeing very similar in Germany..whilst browsing a German website {frame and forks}
Kona Hot Serial Number List - update 04/04/25
- Thread starter al-onestare
- Start date
Great find, what a steal at $50.
TET 980 - 19" 1993 Metallic Turquoise - Triangle cut-out Dropout. Tange Ultrastrong Ribbed Downtube. Original Decals, missing Hot Decal.
Two new additions, both have been up for sale in the last 6 months or so, both in lovely condition.
First up a 1994 but with original 1993 decals. That would have been a specific ask from the original customer.
TET 1210 - 16" 1994 Purple - No Trianble cut-out Dropout. Original and complete 1993 decals. Tange Ultrastrong Ribbed Downtube.
Next, a super-trick 14" Hot, a little later in the 1994 production run.
A perfect shot of the BB bulge, ribbed downtube and Ultrastrong decal
TET 1260 - 14" 1994 Forest Metallic Green - No triangle cut-out Dropout. Tange Ultrastrong Ribbed Downtube.

Great stuff. Do you have a picture of the SN to complete the details?
Yep, I'm calling it 18" at least.
Insane price, presumably as a full bike. According to the internet, 4500 marks is about 2300 euros in todays money. Big big bucks back then.
