1997 Kona Kilauea MTB Frame
* now sold * £80.00 + £13.00 postage
I bought this new in 1999 as frame only and it was waxoyl’d the day I got it. It is in very good condition for its age; it has a few chips and scuffs as you would expect but no sign of internal rust. I rode this at weekends for a couple of years and it has spent the last decade gathering cobwebs in my garage. I toyed with putting it back on the trail but arthritis in my knees has put paid to that…
I’m breaking the bike since the bottom bracket died (race-face ISIS, rubbish) so there are a few items for sale below that might be useful as well.
With – Reynolds 631 tubing it weighs 2.038kg (4.49lb) and is a joy to ride.
I want this to go to a good home so I thought I’d try this forum before eBay.
The critical dimensions for the frame are:
Centre of BB to top of seat post = 18"
Effective Top Tube Length (dimension C) = 23”
Dropout Width = 135mm
Stem Height = 110mm
Headset Size = 1 1/8”
Bottom Bracket Size = 68mm English
It is a perfect fit for me at 5’10” with a 60mm stem.
Collection is preferred from Chelmsford, Essex. I can deliver up to 25 miles and postage for all of these items can be arranged at additional cost, subject to cleared payment (I have PayPal).
Frame Only: £80.00, postage at cost.
I also have a set of RockShox Judy forks with threaded 1 1/8" steerer if anyone is interested. They are the 63mm travel XC and the elastomers are shot.
