Nice Kona '96 was a good vintage!

If I had a Kona, that would be it...

They never seem to fit me though

 

[Boothy]

Absolute corker. Congratulations.

Wow, Looks so much better with the original parts. How do the magura's perform compared to the V's ?

A very nice bike , This is my personal fav kona of all time, year, spec and colour, maybe one day I will have one

 

[konamad]

simply stunning - well done!

wow--i would never guess it had 10 years of use--its just too darn nice--are those brakes in the latter pics hydraulic?--im not that familiar with them---how do you like the grip shifters?-- i could never get the right feel for them but it does give it a nice clean look on the bar

absolutely brilliant...!

I also have the '96 Explosif and the frame is in equally good condition... I don't think I'd have all the original parts (think the xrays packed in along with a few other bits) but I do still have is the original tyres & the fork dust boots...!

it is such a nice bike tho, a true classic... I'm very proud to be an owner of one...

it is great to see it almost back to the way it was... if I were you I'd lock it away and get another bike for general use...!
