Introducing my latest purchase, John Balmer's 1995 Kona Sex Too.
I recently purchased this 1995 Kona Custom Cruiser, from a personal friend of former Kona employee John Balmer. I had originally passed on this one, but I couldn't stop thinking about having all three 'New for 1995' Kona bikes:
I am currently disassembling the bike and taking note of what is factory original, and what is not. I am likely going to use the Ritchey brakes, Sugino cranks, and Kona SUS 999 front hub on my 1995 Kilauea:
I have a set of XT M737/Mavic 237S wheels for this bike, a Sugino Mighty 900 crankset, and I'll put on some black LX brakes on here.
There's some really cool original Kona parts on this bike too, like the bar end plugs which usually get lost, and a front Maximum tire in great condition! It appears Mr. Dirt has gone bald though.
