Old School Hero
Possibly moving my beloved Kona Hei Hei on as I don't use it much anymore.
I used to take the kids to school on it, getting plenty of attention and sometimes into the hills of Church Stretton, so minimal wear on the components (bike hoarder so plenty of choose from). To be honest I had more fun building it then time playing on it. Even tried my hand at bike of month with it (May Canadian special), so even done the show things, so it has scratched all the itches now.
All works as it should.
So what is the current value of these bikes? I saw a later version frameset only go for £1310 which nicely surprised me! I have a serious buyer but want a fair market valuation and this is the place!
*Hei Hei 1991 19inch frame unmodified
*XT 732 groupset including hubs (xtr wasnt available in 1991)
*Ringle finishing kit (stem, seatpost, bottle cage, quick releases)
*Merlin Ti handlebars
*Custom Titanium Burls fork
*Period correct Mavic headset which is pretty unusual
*Mavic rims
*Flight saddle
