1994 Kona Kilauea 16" SPLITTING

The Cleaner

Dirt Disciple
I've acquired this from a friend who dug it out of his shed!
It seems to be all original apart from no tyres. I've cleared the worst of the muck off it and all seems to be functioning. Popped some air into the forks last week and holding pressure and have oil in them. Bearings on hub, headset and bottom bracket fairly smooth with no play.
But!!
2 probs with frame :-( it appears to have a hardly visible hairline crack inthe weld on the left chain stay/seat tube weld about 1 cm long and when I tried to unbolt the cable guide under the b/b shell the head sheared off!
However the crack should be any easy fix, I had a quote for the weld repair plus powder coat for £35 and the bolt can be drilled out. This would be a great little project for a nice original build. Only reason I'm not doing it myself is it's far too small for me :-( .

All this for £95 collected, prefer not to post if I can help it, willing to travel reasonable dust to meet for price of fuel.
If I'm way off tell me.
 
Bargain!

I'm tempted just for the sheer hell of it. Alas, I must first complete the two project on the go at the moment.

Good luck with the sale.
