Help trying to age my Kona Kilauea

[MarcusD]

A cheeky first post I know

Just trying to get some history surrounding my bike:-

Pic will be in my next post because of the forum set-up!

Got it back and moving after some tlc, sadly this meant losing some of the original parts, but I think I will do some digging about and get it back to nearer its original form ASAP.

So any advice on when it was made and where I can find its standard specs that would be excellent, tried the archive link on her put it wasn't working :cry:

Cheers,

Marcus

I'm sure Anthony will be along before too long to pin it down exactly, but in the meantime have you looked here?

Nope I hadn't come across that site, but it answers the question

It's from the 1993 range :mrgreen:

So thanks for that, I am sure I will have more questions soon enough though

I had a 18" 1993 one of those and was my first proper mountain bike. I had the non quadra fork version and remember the back tyre always getting clogged up with mud as the clerance was so small lol
