95 Kilauea frame

[ClassicDodo]

Now that it’s way past my price range, £260 and counting seems a bit punchy for a well loved 95 Kilauea missing the seat and dog collar…

RETRO BIKE MTB KONA KILAUEA RACE LIGHT FRAME 1996 RARE VINTAGE | eBay

I believe this is a 1996 model.

Correction £340 and counting

I know one year earlier than the Columbus tubed version of the one I have to build, but the quality of e.g. the stay ends at rear drop outs looks nothing like mine.
Seems a high price.

Yes does seem a little strong, but I guess thats the pull of a white prestige framed Kona!
I am selling mine, in the classifieds here which includes the frame, fork, stem and headset for only £300!
Might have to try ebay if no takers here, looking at that price!

 

[ClassicDodo]

I’m guessing it’s the smaller size that’s holding it back

 

[fattiman]

Could be but i suppose it could also work the other way, harder to come by but just the right one if its the size you need.

Went for £500

 

[ClassicDodo]

Still a bit confused, nice but not that nice by many ££££

 

[oldave]

Just one bidder took it over a couple of hundred, and buyer who started at a reasonable 130 kept on going! Must have REALLY wanted it. Surely driven by some strong sentimental urge.
Bizarre.

Just wow!
