Kona’s - best year for frame?

[leapgate]

Anything up to and including '98 for the most part. The '94 range was when I was looking to buy my first "proper" bike, and I wasn't able to get one because my dad didn't want to take me to the nearest dealer, so those ended up being "the ones that got away" for a while. Eventually found a Kilauea and a Fire Mountain, which were both great. I've only got a '98 Explosif now, which is still a lovely bike, and I think the only one which was a full 853 frame. Pre-94 stuff is nice too, just doesn't have the same memories for me!
