Have a look there.
Hint
Kona frame materials 1996 to 1998
Is actually just 1998.
I don have the powers to edit it correctly when I put other things up there.

Re:
It tells you want it's all made of, the important stuff?
Frame material, thicknesses etc.
For dimensions, hit the catalogue.
For dropouts, look at pictures.
Cheap end used cheaper end stuff.
Sorry but I'm not sure what specifics you are actually wanting.
The dropouts you mention started in, 1997 on the top end bikes.

Correction
Kona frame materials 1996 to 1998
Is actually just 1997 (not 98 like I said above)
You'll need to look at 97 and the 99 and use that as a guide. Probably nearer the 99.
I remember that I couldn't find a 1998 one.

Thanks nice to see all this info. I was wondering if there were differences on the caldera besides the dropouts. I read on one forum that the frames on the lava domes and cinder cone etc its just the rear triangle that has double butted tubing but on the caldera its all double butted. But looking at the 1998 catalouge i have its rear triangle the same as the others.

Re:
Looking at the '99 info, the caldera had DB stay, a thicker down tube and other differences as shown on the material section of the docs linked.
Also each frame was different (traditionaly two model sets were the same frame)
The 1997 shows larger differences and the higher prestige the Caldera had that year.
1998 would be guess work, but I'd go more for 99 style differences.
Anyone else?

The simple answer with those 3 models in 98 is, same tubing, different drop outs. The Killy was different with 853.
