97 Ku build

Looks smart, liking the multi colour look.

Yeh me too.

Most of bikes are far more reserved in colour. Usually silver and black being the theme so for these Kona builds I’m gonna have colours

for me as the frame is already a bright statement, everything else in black.

I’d usually agree. But I’m trying to build it a little different to my other stuff.

Components will most likely be M739. Yellow or blue fork. Green tyres. Black cockpit and saddle

I was thinking the same thing but.... I also wonder how it'd look with a blend of silver and brown...

looking good in orange with green michelin's Blue 98 SID would fit nicely and some XTR 950 - and if you can find one good set 1st gen. CrossMax = perfect 97/98 XC race bike vibes

Yeh a blue SID or even a colour matched blue Judy possibly.

I’m thinking M739 for this. As I’ve already got a m950 build upcoming but I’m keeping options open

XT on a custom frame? Blasphemy!

Looking forward to seeing this built up - it's an exceptional looking frame.

I'd definitely go with fork like a SID, Marzocchi, Pace or a FOX to compliment with the downtube Kona graphic and keep everthing else muted to support the colour pop.

 

[d8mok]

Possibly a bomber or Rockshox for sure

Won’t be fox or pace on this one.

Rims will most likely be black.

Purple and carbon for the win!
