For Sale 1997 Kona King Kahuna 19" - Sold

[SNA]

I am just not going to get this over the line, so am selling it hopefully someone here will buy it. I have dithered over full retro, modern and in-between. As such I have a partial assembly of parts, most new which need to move on. This is the first in a whole host of bikes/parts/stuffiamhangingontobutdontknowwhy related sales, hopefully they'll find a home here, if not I will sling them on eBay. Bike stable is being reduced to a single steed!!

1997 19" King Kahuna, Syncros Ti BB, Thomson 27.0 seatpost, Hope Headset, Hope Seatclamp £850.00 sold

Other parts by negotiation. I am not willing to split the above package. Based in Hampshire for collection purposes.

Thanks ~ Si

oh man... i had one of these in '97. and its one of the bike's I wished I'd not sold.

did 97 have a disc mount? My old 97 Hei Hei didn't. Someone will be along soon ...

my first '97 didn't. Then I found a second KK that did, but I'm not sure what year the second one was. I sold the non disc and bought the disc. Wish I'd not sold either.

Was an option. Certainly looks very cleanly fitted if not. My LBS who were a Kona dealer from the beginning believed it had been factory fitted/same welds.

Looks like Pips frame with toptube cable routing for rear mech, disk brake tab and 1999 decals

I also regret selling mine, it's in safe hands living a life of luxury in the Hungarian countryside, but it's no longer in my safe hands

the decals look later, more like the Kona Score that came along in the early 2000's (I think)

The down tube decals I believe are 1998. I was going to get a repo set of 1997 decals, from Gil, but never got round to it.
