Re: The post on my 92 Fire mountain measures 26.37mm, so I'm going to say 26.4mm should be the size.

Re: The F in the serial number is for Fairly Bicycle company in Taiwan, which Kona uses to produce many of it's models. Is the impact headset a 1" or 1 1/8" size? IF the bike follows the catalog ( a big IF ) and hasn't had lots of parts changing then the only bike in 1992 with Ukai rims and...

Re: I'm wondering if a pic (closeup on the race lite insignia) and email to Kona headquarters might be worth a shot. Never hurts to try. It would be nice to definitively solve this little Kona mystery (and maybe that yellow 91 Fire mountain thing after that :mrgreen: ) . It will probably...

Re: Perhaps the Race Lite sticker on the downtube is the indicator of the special edition the previous owner had mentioned. If you drop "1992 kona cinder cone" into google and search images you'll only see a few with the race lite sticker like yours. And they lead back to right here. :)...

Re: Nice, with Black LX arms and silver rings it'll be the opposite of what it came with. I like those brakes, much better than the originals. Having a velocity stem rather than a sport is only a plus. What are you going to do with the grease fitting on the bottom bracket?

Re: Looking good so far. I happen to have a 1992 Fire Mountain that I bought....new. The bike never got much in the way of upgrades. I did replace the original (steel) handlebars with a scott AT-4; it was a bit odd that while at college there were about 5000 bikes, only three green Fire...

Re: I'll give it a shot. Peugeot ExO V-brakes and 5 bolt cranks, I'll guess.......1997? 1998? And this is just a guess based off the components,

Re: Hello rc200ti, On the 91 Cinder Cone that you have are they the Suntour XC LTD 7 speed X-Press (like the rapidfire) or the Suntour XC LTD Top Mount thumb shifters? If thumb shifters this wouldn't be the first time the catalogue differed from what people actually bought. I recall...

Re: I think you have a 1992 Cinder Cone. The graphics on the frame look very 1992 with the oval K on the head tube, (the circular maze logo appeared on other bikes, but not on the cinder cone until 1993). The thumb shifters were across the entire line in 1992, in 1991 they were shimano...

A four year thread and I haven't seen the bike I own. Although there is an explosif of the same color. The color is Dupont Imron 43073 "Signal Green" (99% sure). It's difficult to get the pictures to look right, because the light reflects off the paint so much. 1992 Kona Fire...

Nice find. The wonders of buying and selling when you can glimpse a bad pic instead of a poor description in the newspaper. So was the 1991 fire mountain in yellow a US/Canada color and blue for UK and Europe? I remember the yellow, but not the blue.
