Could anyone date this Kona for me please? maybe too new!

[-=Mint_sauce=-]

Hey folks, just bought this without really looking into it too much. Can anyone tell me how old it is? might just strip it for pats as I think I need something smaller for the missus!

Many thanks!

1999 in 'Yellow and Red' - http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=1999&Brand=Kona&Model=Blast&Type=bike

It's not in the 1999 catalogue in the archives, but in the 2000 catalogue there's the Blast in 'Mongo' - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=85089

The decal design is 1999.

I wouldn't think it was a good project for stripping for parts. It's a size 19, so would suit a female of around 6-0.

I thought it was a 2000 model as the blast wasn't listed by Kona until then.
