I am restoring a 1995 Kona Cinder Cone and it currently has a nasty and very short aftermarket seatpost. I measured this seatpost and it is 27.2mm but I understand the Cinder Cone should have 27mm? Does anyone have a suitable race light seatpost they would sell? thanks!

Thanks Pipmeister. I quite like the white as well.

Would that suggest that this is an early 1996 model welded in 1995 but using prestige tubing? Perhaps it was then also painted in 1995 colour but decals applied in 1996?

I quite like having an outlier! I preferred this colour scheme to the green ones I see so often.

Just did some reading around the serial number. If I understand this correctly the F means it is the Fairly bike company and made in Taiwan. The 5 would indicate a 1995 date? The plot thickens!

Hi All, I looked at the serial number on the bottom of the bike and it is F5040802 (see images). It seems like there are a few possibilities then, it was an old 94 frame that was in the factory and got sold later and later decals added. Alternatively it could have had new decals added later by...

Thanks for the welcome, I could be wrong about the year but thought it was a 96 based on the blue decals. Yes it has a blue tange prestige decal on it. Just went out for a ride on it today.

Hi, I am fairly new here but thought I would post about the bike that got me into retro bikes. As a now nearly 40 something with an 8 year old son, I have been revisiting my youth and dragging out some of my old stuff from the parents loft. As a kid, I spent a lot of time out on my bike and was...

Thanks Raging_Bulls, looking forward to contributing, I have a few retrobikes!

Hi, I have been into bikes for a while and done a few road bike projects. I got into retro mountain bikes last year with a 96 Kona Kilauea and just picked up a 95 Cinder Cone as a project. I think I might have my work cut out on this one!

Thanks weeman_mtb. I am relatively new here and not sure whether I can actually do private messages yet.

Thanks a lot, let me know how much you want for them and I can PayPal you.

Thanks, if it has the right length steerer then I would be interested. If it is 17” then it might be a bit short. Could you message some pics?

Hi, I am after a set of Kona project 2 forks for a 95 Kona Cinder Cone. It is a 19” frame so I need 163mm steerer length and 1 1/8”. Also after a matching velocity stem 120mm for 1 1/8”. Does anyone have either of these spare and consider selling? thanks, Sam
