1993 Kona Hot

Looks amazing , glad the tires finally showed up

1st Gen RF Turbines would suit IMO (the clover spider vs the later Turbine LP)

The LX crank is looking great as a place holder though

Since the Hot is in a holding pattern I figured I better get this 96 Kilauea built up for my daughter. Parts bin bike that should be a treat to ride.

Morning, I have a question to the hotfork: didn't they have other dropouts?
Cheers chris

Those are 93/94's the Kilauea's are 96/97's: one pre-suspension config, one post. In other words, 2 different specs and dimensions.

Do any of them look like the yellow dropouts posted above? I haven't seen a 90s Project Two with little dropouts directly in line with the fork like that. The dropout forged style which I showed is far more familiar to me

Here's a triple butted stock P2 on my 93' Kilauea:

Long day painting baseboards and headboard for daughters room but after shutting down for day I decided to take the Hot For a short ride around the hood. Brakes set up about as poorly as they can be bottom bracket to short for this set of cranks and realized Ive got the rear tire on backwards. So ya happy with it so far lol
