gauging interest-1998 Kona Hei Hei 19" frameset

[cjn1014]

hello,

i'm writing this stateside, i've noticed that you apparently have a much greater appreciation for titanium framesets than most people here do. i just picked up a complete 1998 Kona Hei Hei, but I might have overextended myself a bit financially, so I might be willing to unload it.

Like I said, I believe its a 1998, judging by the sticker set. The tubes are in great condition, no dents/dings/chainsuck, no scratches, anything. the frame is beautiful. The stickers do need replacement, I'm going to attempt to procure a set out of the Ferndale, WA plant. It will most likely come with a modified Chris King Rasta headset, with the colors matching the Kona "fruitbasket".

The touchy point, i guess, will be someone's willingness to pay overseas shipping out of detroit, michigan. i've had some success cutting down frame boxes to size in order to beat the shipping companies, but i have to imagine it will still be expensive.

i'll post some pics later this weekend, once i get the bike torn down and cleaned up. if you want some dirty shots quickly, drop me a line at cjn1014 at comcast dot net. In any event, if you are interested at all in a hei hei in 19", drop me a line. my name is corey

also, the following bikes are floating around my area, if anyone might be interested....

late nineties dean scout in 16"
early 2000's litespeed pisgah in 18"
04/05ish moots ybb
06 kona king supreme (stock from kona) in 18", barely used.

I had an 18" Ti frame shipped to the UK via USPS for about $60 including insurance.

The Hei Hei frame is 'worth' between £400 - 450, so $800 - 900.

The forum rules require a price to be put on the advert or it will be removed.

I assume you are selling with good intentions and not trying to begin an auction here, in which case good luck with the sale

I doubt anyone would pay more than £450 including shipping, import duty etc so asking price should be adjusted. Say $650

If he's selling for $650 shipped, i'll take it as a spare :roll:

Everything he said. I'll lock it for the mo, think of a price and PM when you're ready to update the auction accordingly...
