Withdrawn 99 Kona Chute - Near original hard tail

MSYT

Retro Guru
Up for sale is my 1999 Kona Chute

These don't come up for sale often and especially not in original(ish) spec!

I picked up this bike a couple of years ago now. The only thing original was the frame so I set about trying to find the original parts, or as close to as I could get. Now the build is pretty close to catalogue spec but it's not quite there. There are some colour differences in parts and others are close but not quite there but it's built, it rides well and it looks awesome!

I’m not going to lie. This build cost me a fortune. I’ve got around £800 in to it but I don’t want to take too much of a hit so I’m listing it for £600 to see how it goes.

You can collection the bike from Tamworth or I can send it via Paisley Freight, fully insured, which costs an fortune these days. PayPal fees must be covered.

Oh sorry it’s not for sale anymore.

I’ve stuck Hope discs on it now and I’m keeping it ☺️
I don’t blame you, one of the posh kids round my way had one when he was about 12 with some Hope E4’s lightning discs - I’d keep it too!
