Here's a Kona I've wanted in my stable for a long time. The first of the Kilauea model, not featured in the catalogue but introduced mid-year. Unusual.
This 'donor' cropped up on here. I'm not best pleased with my purchase but it is what it is. No pictures pre-strip as I was not particularly happy about it, but I've pulled it apart & she has come apart easily with no fight from the b/b or seatpost which by rights ought to have been stuck solid.
Here it is ready for the boot of the car.
Bar & stem not as durable as the decal.
The Blue fork.
It's pretty beat-up as is evident. I've dropped it off at the powder coaters & found RAL 5022 to be a perfect match. I thought I had a pic with their sample next to the frame but it's not on my phone. It should take a week or so until ready. I plan to tart-up the Impact headset & blast & paint the bars & Velocity myself.
