Recently refurbed, this is a lovely example of an early Kona. The last year for the splatter range, she's in great shape and is almost 100% original. The build thread is here and is super-pic heavy:

The spec list is as follows. Anything marked in italics is non-original / NOS bought by me for the build:
Frame: Cromoly P.G. Main 19" (from the very bottom of the BB to the very top of the seat tube)
Fork: Project Two
Headset: Sealed Tech (no idea what it is - it's unbranded)
Stem: Kona Cromoly
Handlebar: Kona MTB
Grips: Unbranded, foam
Brakes Front: Shimano Exage 300LX
Braked Rear: Shimano Exage 500LX W/U-H
Brake Pads: Aztec
Brake Cables: Combination of new cables (Shimano XTR) and the original outers (Shimano ???)
Brake Levers: Shimano Exage 300LX
Shifters: Shimano Exage 300LX STI
Front Derailleur: Shimano Exage 300LX
Rear Derailleur: Shimano Exage 300LX
Derailleur Cables: Shimano (original ???)
Cassette: Shimano Hyperglide 7-speed
Chain: Shimano Hyperglide
Cranks: Shimano Exage 300LX
Chainrings: Shimano Biospace
Bottom Bracket: Tange with greasefiller
Pedals: LXT
Hub Skewers: Shimano (unbranded)
Rims: Araya OHE RX-7
Front Hub: ??? (unbranded)
Rear Hub: Shimano FH-HG50
Tyres: Kona / Joe Murray Propulsion / Equilibrium
Tubes: Halfords special
Saddle: Avocet Touring
Seatpost: Kally 300mm Alloy
Seatpost Binder: Shimano XTR
There is some very minor chain-suck and the some minor patina on the head-tube sides. The decals aren't the best, but as explained in the build thread, if you remove those you remove the splatter!
£225.I'm willing to courier within the UK and that's included in the price. For non-UK residents it would be an extra charge. Interest can be lodged here, but offers must be by PM only, first come, first served.
MANY THANKS!
