Re: The unicorn is now listed on eBay. Although it's listed as shipping to the US, it also remains available to UK buyers, with international shipping at actual cost. If you live in a country other than US or UK, and are seriously interested in the bike, please send a PM...

Re: Welcome to the daily bump. :wink:

Re: Just riding along.... Bump! 8)

Re: Good day. Please fasten your seatbelts and hold on for the bump...here it comes... Bump. 8)

Re: Re: Fair question...so here are some data points... - We did a lot of research here on Retrobike to see what prices looked like for King Kahuna frames in general. - The general range for used frames alone was around £500 on the low end to £700 or so on the high end. - It should be...

Re: Re: I don't have the details, and I trust someone else might be able to provide additional insights, but the shorter seat tube extension is not due to the fact that this Hei Hei includes the King Kahuna option...it's actually due to the vintage of the Hei Hei more generally...namely, some...

Re: Thanks for the kind comments. :)

Re: READ THIS: Of Old Barns & Unicorns - NOS 96 Kona King Ka You are not spoiling the party, and I appreciate the feedback. I have updated the post to remove all references to NOS, as the term has some subjectivity, and I want everyone to know what is, or is not, being represented about...

UPDATE: The unicorn has found a new home. It sold on 10/24/14 for $3100, or approximately £1925. Thanks to all of the readers for your lively commentary. It's been fun! ************************** This is a story of a beautiful bike. A unique bike. It’s all true. And yes, the bike is for...

Anthony-- I bow in humility to you having earned the rank of Grand Master, and with all due respect, opinions vary strongly on the use of serial commas with lists of three or more items. "It may be recommended to avoid ambiguity..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma Offered...

Please forgive this small nitpick...I'll say it as respectfully as possible... It's "Dekerf," not "DeKerf". The funny thing about pet peeves is that it's physically, emotionally, and psychologically impossible to resist commenting about them...that's why they are called "pet peeves."...

Riding Thunder Mountain, Kirkwood, CA - near Lake Tahoe This is the view while riding the trail back from Thunder Mountain, near Lake Tahoe, CA...the Sierra Nevada range. My trusty companions on the trail were my two working dogs...Topaz, a Queensland Heeler, and Phoebe, an Australian...

Drool drool...how can NOS of this quality hang around this long??? This truly looks like one in a million. (And no, it's not my ad...) http://cgi.ebay.com/1995-Kona-Hot-All-O ... 415b7d7557[/url]

File this one under cocktail party minutiae.... The "k" is Dekerf is not capitalized. (It's a common mistake many people have made, based on the sticker design, but that was just a stylistic choice for the graphic...). :)

** This is a hypothetical exercise only. ** Can you think of any situations in which you could find it acceptable to apply stickers to a frame that represent it as a model other than what it is? (For purposes of this exercise, assume it's your own bike, and you are not doing a deceptive...

Original Avid Speed Dial 2.0 I have Avid Speed Dial 2.0s, like these, and I rather like them. http://compare.ebay.com/like/2508069057 ... 602_309572 I think they are pretty too. (Not all Speed Dials are this attractive, but the earliest versions like this have shiny chrome on the body...

Konaman, Agreed on all points. I've been looking at that photo in the catalogue SINCE 1997, and I don't know why, there's just something about this bike, with that paint job, that has grabbed me like few others. She haunts me!! :shock: I was watching the auction for weeks, and I'm...

Here's a recently-ended eBay auction (Canadian seller) that I'm surprised no one seems to have commented on in the forums (at least I didn't see anything...). This is one of my all-time favorite bikes, with one of my all-time favorite customized paint jobs, in a perfect 18" size...a 1997 Kona...

What about a small section of metal cut from an aluminum can? (Or several...as many as it takes to build up the required thickness.) Note: I cannot take credit for thinking of this. There is a wonderful section in "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," by Robert Pirsig, that includes...

Isn't that distracting? How do you get anything done in the garage? (Sorry, I just couldn't resist...) :wink:
