    Can someone explain what the + Quote icon is for the bottom of a post? When I hover over it, I get a pop-up saying "Toggle Multi Quote" and a message at the top of the page saying "Message added to multi-quote". See attachment here: Thank you. Pip

    Unusual Kona models or colours

    Mmm, well that indicates that the frame was welded at the Fairly Works in June 1998, which is just about in keeping with the manufacturing for the following year's 1999 production - if a little early. There is however a Control Code letter missing from the middle of the Serial Number, which I...

    Unusual Kona models or colours

    If you glance back to my post above, you'll see that I included a couple of pictures of what we need to see with regards to the Frame's Serial Number. Could you take a picture from further around the Bottom Bracket Shell to reveal all of the number from the scraped away paint area. This will...

    Unusual Kona models or colours

    I've have this bike on file from October last year. You are correct that the decals are consistent with a 99 caldera, but the frame is something very different. The 1999 Caldera has Kona "New Drop" investment cast Dropouts, whereas this frame has the lower spec Dropouts found on the Fire...

    Kona King Kahuna Frame "KK..."

    Hello there, I would like to add your frame to the Kona Titanium Serial Number list. Would you be kind enough to send me a picture of the Serial Number? If you are concerned regarding revealing the Serial Number of your frame to the world, then I can either assure you that I will not place it...

    Nearly there....

    Okay, after a development in my condition, which involves further attention, I decided that a bit of retail therapy was required :D . My Gibson Tony Iommi Signature SG has a particular pair of pickups fitted; the single coil P90 that give a particular sound, so I wanted a guitar with a pair of...

    1997 Kona King Kahuna Hei Hei

    It varied from year to year.... but; We do know that Kona build approximately 4,000 Titanium frames in total, which was over 10 year period from 1991 to 2000. This would have been all of the Hei Hei frames, all of the King Kahuna frames, all of the Score frames and all of the Haole frames; so a...

    1997 Kona King Kahuna Hei Hei

    If you read back through the thread of the Kona Titanium Serial Number List from the start, you'll see that initially, I merely asked if anyone knew how the Serial Number sequence was administered by Titanium Sports Technologies. After a few pages of discussion, it seemed that the site would...

    1997 Kona King Kahuna Hei Hei

    Thank you very much. From your pictures that you added of your 1999 King Kahuna, I already had one of them documented in my records from back in 2011! However, I have now added the others to my documentation, which all helps with compiling the List. I have also added your Frame to the Kona...

    1997 Kona King Kahuna Hei Hei

    Hello there Dookie, would you be willing to reveal the Serial Number of the 1999 King Kahuna in the picture? I would dearly love to add it to the Kona Titanium Serial Number List. We only have six confirmed Serial Numbers for the 1999 frames (one unconfirmed), and only one of those with the...

    Nearly there....

    Rightyho, back to the main event. I spoke to my Palliative Care Macmillan Consultant last week by Zoom, and she has decided to increase my Opiate medication. My general well being has been mixed, and some days I don't have a lot of strength and stamina to get stuff done around here like...
