A few nice colour schemes to get the cogs turning
More pics needed. Are they all original paint ?
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.
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

Maybe leave that one as is and buy this one to paint https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25671476...6iRXLTORNu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Yeh I’d like it stars and bars but worry that it’s a hard scheme to get perfect. And if it’s not right , it’ll annoy me.
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 justice

Yep I like the 98 decals too and if the paint was a bit better I could maybe go that route. But it’s likely not good enough to satisfy my ocd as it has a few bits where it’s worn through the paint from rubbing shoes or cables.
My issue is that unless they super mint I loose interest and don’t love them as much as the others.
I’ve got a couple of other builds to finish first so it’ll likely be next year before I do much with it.
