That is a really nice one! Looks like a dark metallic blue ?

Good call. Certainly we know equal level shenanigans went on with the race team and weird liveries

That would make more sense

The model name looks like it's 3 letters long. Koa ? Highly doubtful as not nearly nice enough for a team frame.

An absolute beauty and a great shot of it When is the ETA for getting the rest of the fleet back mobile?

That is a 1998 made with 853 with correct stickers and dropouts. Tom stopped making Hots for Kona in 1995ish. Never used 853 tubing on those indeed it didn't exist or if it did barely

Its gotta be as simple as it qas redone a decade later or something. Heavily touched up paint. Whatever decals at hand snd modified for single speed. Here are the dropouts on my brodie. Some resemblance. It too is a mix of prestige tubing but I sont know if the dropouts were made by Brodie or...

Certainly a weird mix I'll leave conclusions to others but I've never seen dropouts like that on a Kona. My brodie Sovereign has scalloped ones similar. Tom made frames for other bikes ? Or maybe it had new dropouts added. The decals are for sure not original as he was done making Hots long...

brutal! haha cheers!

Thanks to Mattymm very generous gift the KK is now supporting 4 Ti bolts on the stem mounts. Thank you sir!

That's a 95 fork too (if original) so had a longer AC length that those from 90/91 Shouldn't impact things too much.

Thank you, someone at Kona must have really liked Mustard! Mustard Yellow, Team Mustard am I missing any others?

Thanks Pip, I have never actually seen one in person. Are they actually more yellow? All I have seen online look orangey to me. I guess its a fine line.

1998 Kilauea's were orange, that is likely what he had

I can do no better than 222

4.6 using the same kitchen scale. It's a size larger thought (19 vs 18)

Cool to see the weight! When I weighed that brodie Sovereign it was 4.00 LB which is crazy light for steel.

Stem bolts always seem to be the ones that rust on me too. I'll habe to measure later on

Lol. I don't disagree but she's a rider so I'm not going to fuss spending hundreds extra extra for the really small details. Lord knows I've spent enough on this bike already hah.

No the stem was bought seperate just looks like regular steel bolts
