Wow a very rare bike indeed and if this was an 18" I wouldn't be posting this!

Yes indeed, i prefer a newer Kona's in 17" over the 18"

Re:

You guys...19” is the perfect size in looks and practicality ;-)

Hasn't this one been up for sale before or am I imagining things?

Re:

Yeah. The seller bought it on Facebook for £950 a month or so ago.

Bad geometry on the 1996 HH in my opinion

Re:

Yeah, not very Kona shaped are they with the much less radically sloping top tube.

hi again,

i listed my kona on ebay last year and had lots of offers around the £900 mark but i enjoyed it more than that.
i have owned it since 1997 and traded in my Kilauea for the frame at Recycle in Croydon, i still have the receipt somewhere.

it really is a great bike - i have already been offered £1100 by a guy in Singapore but i won't post it.

i hope someone will enjoy it as much as i do.

regarding the sloping frame i am 5'7'' and if fits great, stopping to open gates on tracks doesn't cause any bollock/tt issue!

If she were a year older we'd be talking.

FWIW, £900 is pretty much on the money bearing in mind it doesn't have much of the OG components which, for many around these parts, will be expecting to command that sort of price.

Good luck with the sale!
