Hello, i´ve found a apparently 1995 kona kula (new painting, new logos), in what way can i be sure of the model is realy a kula, and if so what size?

SI - 27 or 5I - 27 2871 DB

thanks

Hmmm, well the 96 came with Magura's so I think - and I may be wrong - the routing was different / the guides were different to a 95.

This is a '95. It's my old one

They were made from Easton Elan tubing and there was an Easton logo stamped into the frame if I remember correctly (top of seat tube, just underneath where it meets the top tube). It also didn't have a replaceable mech hanger. Rear brake cable was routed along the top of the top tube, slightly to the non-drive side so that it could pass through the dog collar easier. Front and rear mech cables were routed underneath the down tube. Rear mech cable then routed underneath the drive side chain stay.
