I recently got hold of a 1998 Kona King Kikapu frame which I kind of fancied from the past and intrigued by Kona’s take of the unified rear triangle type suspension that was bit of the rage among some manufacturers for a period. Unfortunately I think this model suffered from cracking chainstays and this particular frame might not be immune from that ailment with faint signs of a hairline crack plus suffering from a bunch of scratches, flaking paint and a very stuck bottom bracket. I’m going to build it up with left over bits from various past builds including the front end will be a pair of early Marzocchi Mr T’s minus the top crown. It’ll be my Christmas period holiday project build to keep me occupied and see how it rides once its complete.
