Kona Hot - Isle of Wight

Seems to be causing some interest and rightly so. Personally, as others have said, the fact it's had a respray would put me off. Mainly for originality but also if it's covered any damage etc. That said, if it's a good one then applying the correct decals alone would be enough.....add some decent kit and off you go 👍
 
Interesting that the '96 Hot frame was already Reynolds 853, whereas Explosif and Kilauea would be made of Columbus until '97.

Kilauea never made it to 853 I don’t think. There was a Reynolds one but I think it was 651 or something like that
 
They were custom colours anyway, so getting it painted well in a colour of your choice would be just as good imo. Would have to be stars n bars of course :cool:

Just a reminder, the serial number is real. I read it off the BB shell this morning. I bought this from a guy I trust, and it’s not my only retro Kona.
