[Matttymm]

Thank you SNA. Total pleasure to meet you.

Anyone out there help me out with the 1997 decals ?

I’ve seen the blue but the catalogue has yellow - so which one is it or does it not matter ?

What was the price of this out of interest? (And for future reference).
I see the price has been deleted from the ad??

All the 97s I have seen have had blue decals but correct catalogue shows yellow. Is the blue KK up for sale?

Nice buy Matty. Classy....
Are you wanting hei hei decals or king kahuna?

 

[Matttymm]

So, at the expense of embarrassing myself I thought 1997 was a King Kahuna Hei Hei. as per the photo.

 

[Magpiegifts]

It's usually me who embarrasses themselves not you I thought they were two different models entirely. Hey ho hei hei

 

[Magpiegifts]

So what are the differences between a hei hei and king kahuna hei hei?

 

[Takingabreak]

hei hei has round section tubing and does not have a strengthening gusset where the down tube joins the head tube

 

[Matttymm]

From what I’ve seen from the catalogues. It was Hei Hei up until 1995

Then became King Kahuna Hei Hei in 1996 with blue decals and then yellow decals in 1997

Am sure others can correct me.

I think I’ll go yellow.

I don't think it matters, go with whatever you like the look of. When I bought mine it had 1998 black and white decals and I sourced some orange / yellow ones from either ebay or Gil to replace them. What's the frame number?
