Hi, yes the wheels are sold. The tyres are still available,

Re: 700c disc wheels Sold and thank you.

Of course, adn thank you very much - please pm me.

These never sold and now I want to reclaim some space in my garage. Same offer available on them.

Couple of PMs have come my way regarding the forks -these are the triple butted PII versions, and will go with the frame/bike, not on their own. Bike still available

Re: Rebuild My age, body (and lack of skill) require me to have some comfort upfront :o 12 months ago this bike was very retro - albeit upgraded from the original build. 1996 Kona may have had some great frames, but the build parts were possibly the worst - gripshift, Curve cantis...

ye, did mul over this. Did consider the silver version that are available, but couldn't get them at the price I paid, and besides the 2011 models were imminent (hence the price) and no silver option. Of course Silver isn't gold, but I thought it would go. As it is, now that (boring) black are...

So. received and fitted the Magura 85mm suspension forks. Pictures updated here. Almost final build now - just need a 90mm stem. Went out for a good 2 h ride yesterday and it felt great, but it was a shock to go off road and down rocky descents on a hardtail again. I've only had a FS...

98/99 Sids would indeed look good. I've managed to get a set of 2010 Magura Menja 85mm forks with canti bosses are a really good price. I already run a set of 100mm versions on my FS and like them. It is also in keeping with my aim of taking a 15 year old frame and bringing it bang up to date...

Few more

A few more photos of near final build. Shorter stem and suspension forks to be added.

Any interest, offers?

yep, I'll try and do some tonight. Also got some suspension forks arriving soon and will post the final build then. Really looking forward to going on the next ride and leaving my FS bike at home.

Laquered over.

The decals are exact replicas of the 1996 model year. The only change I made was to the colour (changed to yellow) 'Race Light' decal at the back of the top tube. I did observe once the decals were in place the the colour shade of the replicas was a little lighter than the originals, but that...

More photos

WEll, against my better financial judgment I've just gone and found myself a set of bargain Magura Menja 85mm with canti bosses. I've already got a set of the 100mm versions on my Kona FS and love them, so can't wait to get out on the Kilauea again. Although I grew up on bikes before...

I've finally dusted off my first proper mtb and it is now time to move this on to a new owner. The fram is a 19" and too big for me. This is the first Kona Kilauea from 1992, and is relatively rare. It comes with standard Kona double butted steel tubing and has a lovely lively ride. The...
