    '96 Kona Kilauea - The Anti-white

    Because I believe it is. I bought it in good faith from a close friend who apparently stripped turquoise paint off it before having the last powdercoating put on (see pics at the start of the thread). What I have done for piece of mind is contact Kona to see if they can give me a definitive...

    '96 Kona Kilauea - The Anti-white

    I've got a set of '96 decals to go on it. The only thing I'm missing is the Columbus label. I've had a look for one but haven't found the correct one yet. I don't know what it weighed when I stripped it, I will check when it gets its next strip down though. Does anyone know the difference in...

    '96 Kona Kilauea - The Anti-white

    Forgot to mention that now I've built it, it'll probably be up for sale soon as I've put my name down for one of those new fangled 29ers through the cycle to work scheme. It's a GT Karakorum 1.0 and it'll be the first new bike I've ever owned. Just got to wait until July 4th when they bring some...

    '96 Kona Kilauea - The Anti-white

    I finally finished building this last night. Sorry its a bit dirty, I've been out on it all morning: As you can see I did go for the orange in the end. Kind of wondering weather to leave the decals off as I like it like this. I've gone for a retro modern build, I don't have the...

    B is for Beautiful..... Build start pics page 4

    Just to add that this look has been used on custom cars for years and that it can use a black or silver base coat depending on the desired finish. I have heard of people using scrunched up carrier bags to get that effect on the second colour. It'll also need lots of lacquer on top to get it nice...

    '96 Kona Kilauea - The Anti-white

    I think so. I can't think of another colour I'd rather go for right now and I think it needs a bold frame colour as IMHO the frame surface area is too small for fancy graphics to stand out. All the bits to go on it are are mostly black with a bit of silver so the 'KTM style' should work...

    '96 Kona Kilauea - The Anti-white

    Well, it's neither bulging or ovalized so I guess that settles it. :-)

    Does this make things any clearer? I'm intrigued now...

    '96 Kona Kilauea - The Anti-white

    One of the above picture shows the top of the BB. First digits are H5C1. I am happy to be proved wrong on it's age. It's only what I was lead to believe when I bought it.

    '96 Kona Kilauea - The Anti-white

    No, I want to do something different with it now. I quite like this colour:

    '96 Kona Kilauea - The Anti-white

    I'm the guy that sold it for a fair price. :wink: Oh, and someone still tried to haggle me down from that.

    '96 Kona Kilauea - The Anti-white

    I bought this about 3 years ago when it looked like this: Over the past couple of years I've ridden it loads and gradually upgraded it but then I got offered the chance to buy a DeKerf frame which lets face it your not going to turn down. So, I stripped the Kona and moved everything...

    DeKerf Generation Frame

    For sale is my DeKerf Generation Frame in a sort or browny-purpley metallic. It's an 18" frame in Reynolds 631 steel with brake calliper mount, bosses for two bottles and I believe it's a '99 model. It has no dents, cracks or rust. If you have got this far then you know what your...

    advise needed on 80s diamond back

    Nice to see this as I used to have one. Mine was badged as a 'Diamond Back II' and had red anodised rims and flouresent pink brake lines. These things mattered when I was 10. :) I'd love another one.

    1999(?) Dekerf Generation + others

    Hi, I've been lerking here for a while but not posted much so I thought I should chuck a few pictures of my bikes up. The first is this:- I bought the frame from a friend who already had another Dekerf and didnt need this frame. It's an 18" and I think it's a '99 model although I cant...
