1998 Kona King Kikapu - £200

[Simba42]

Before I start, I don’t know much about bikes. I don’t own tools and have no knowledge on how to take bikes apart.
The local bike shop has looked it over and reported the following:
• Needs replacement bottom bracket
• Cone on rear wheel pitted and bearings shot
• Shock seals broken – leaking air into oil
• Fork needs full service
• Pedal bearings shot
• Seat tube fused to frame although it does rotate in the frame.
• Full cable replacement needed
• Lower frame pivots rusted and fused
• Play in upper pivots in evo rocker link
Going by a previous post on here I have been told it was worth £250ish
Asking £200 for it
Location Milton Keynes / Luton / Hemel Hempstead

Hi there

Very interested in this, can you give me a n idea of the frame size please, it may have a sticker on it giving the size otherwise the top tube and seat tube lengths will suffice

Thankyou Gavin

Can't find any sticker with size on it.
Does this help?

Hi there

Thanks for the dimensions and pics

I am still procrastinating to be honest as theres a degree of work to do to bring the bike back into service :roll:

Be in touch

Frame looks odd with that front mech tube just sitting there.... never seen one before.
