A few nice colour schemes to get the cogs turning
They all belong to forum member @SpearedHot in the US. Not sure if he is still active. This pic is from a decade or so ago.More pics needed. Are they all original paint ?
So much choice, nice frame by the way, thought you were set on a stars n bars scheme!?
My favourite '96 kona colour is this yellow, the sex too came in it but there has been the odd Explosif turn up in it too

The fact it was repainted by Pashley and proper Kona decals applied from that era rather than the thick vinyl repros you get now would sway me to keep it like this. I do like the 98 graphics though. Maybe drop them an email to see if they have any details of the repaint? A good polish and reface of the frame would bring it up really nicely I reckon. This could be a retro ride that gets used Either way, great frame and I'm sure you'll do it justiceYes they water slides under the lacquer. Apparently painted by pashley in 1998.
I don’t ride retro so it’s a bit tatty for a show level build which I’d planned to do.
