Kona Kilauea advertised three times by same seller 🤔

As far as I can recall TB p2’s look sculpted at the drop out.

Rather than the main fork leg ending almost square and then the drop out being a thin extension.

This might not be true for all but that’s how I used to hunt them out.

One way to find out but you'd need to take the forks off would be to check the steerer tube,it should be stamped CM/TB and have a year stamped.
These are some off my 93 Kona.

The forks on that look more like the ones off my 93 Firemountain and there not triple butted and also they have a 1 inch steerer. So maybe worth checking what size headset it has.

Non TB forks never came in 1 1/8” if I recall?

Early ones (91/92) would have surely? TB introduced in 93? This is my teenage memory talking.

The dropouts as pointed out above are a good way to tell as are the stampings on the steerer. I have a set of non TB in 1 1/8th flavour, off a 98 Fire Mountain I believe, they definitely did them.

FWIW, got a '95 P2 TB (resprayed but TB engraved on the steerer tube) with similar boxy fork bottom ends. Also got a '94/'95 TB with the curved/tapered ends, so guess there's different varities around.

That said, Tange Prestige tubing had a bulge-butted seat tube, i.e. the seat tube should be noticeably bulged below the bottle cage bolts (photo showing '94 and '95 Kilauea frames side by side). Can't see that in the 3rd photo of the starting post showing just the frame.

Doesn’t look like it’s bulged. More ovalised
