Re:

it seems to me that the 1995 vintage are the most common - or am I wrong ?

one day - yes, one day a 1997 will show up for sale and it will be close to you

Re: 1997 Kona Kapu

Yep, it's the one that comes up the most. It was the first year they made a steel road bike so I guess there was a novelty factor associated with it, particularly as the Haole was un-affordable to many. I'll stick my neck out and say there were more 95's made than 96 and certainly more than 97. Then things picked up again with the switch to Reynolds for 98 then the crazy megatube 99.

And another 1998 I think? are you sure you wouldn't be happy with a '98?
