Re: 1997 Kona Kapu

Well well well...not a 97 but another 1995, complete with the mega elusive road version of the Velocity stem.

The close up shots are very handy for me as re-build my slightly earlier one!

Hmmmm, if this is Reynolds then it's a 98. First instincts say this is a re-spray with non-stock decals. Shame, one year out and the wrong colour...

Re: 1997 Kona Kapu

Remember the 1996 version that was up for sale on ebay in the US? It was on there for months then sold for about $600.

Pretty sure this is it, now as a frameset and for $750

The extra paintwork (the T that made it a Kaput) has been removed and it's been polished up. It's also got a new Genius decal but has the same marks, especially next to the "u" of Kapu. Perhaps that's what the increased priced reflects :facepalm:

Getting closer...a 98 version in yellow. For the UK folks this came in lovely Reynolds tubing:

Also, a 1995 - this was originally posted on this site in the XYZ forum. If I didn't have my lovely one then I'd be all over this. Need work but looks sound:

Yep it does and well priced. If you can get it over here for a good price then it should be a fantastic ride.
