i dont think the picture does it justice(not that i have room to talk about that) but it looks like a sweet ride

I like this year for the Kilauea, nice colors. Have fun.

Same frame as my 97 Killer I believe, and you might like to note that mine takes a 27.2 post, even though Kona specified 27.0.

Not sure if it's a colour that cameras can't get on with, but I've seen a number of different versions in photos and never seen one in the flesh - is this one close to the real colour? If so, it's very nice.

shoddy camera - in the metal it is identical to the one you have pictured. the colour looks a bit flat until it gets into the sun, where it "pops" beautifully.

i tried to fit a 27.2 post and it wouldnt have any of it. my 26.8 was loose. i have a 27.0 on the way

I've heard others say that colour is dull, but I really like it. Jealous once again, thanks Retrobike...
