Kona kilauea

1997 Kona Kiluaea Columbus Cyber frame. In pretty good condition considering it’s 25 years old. I’ve owned the bike from new and the only non-original parts are the tyres thinking about going electric

It is the '96 model

Nice bike and like your other in pretty much original condition. if you cleaned it and took off the accessories then you could be looking at £300+

It’s either 96 or 97 not sure which

How do you tell all I have is a receipt from 97

Colours change (as well as the tube sets) from year to year. ’96s were this greeny blue, ‘97s were blue blue.

They change colour and graphics of the range every year.

Also the first question most will ask of both bikes is whether the seat post moves up and down freely, they tend to seize in the frame over time if not looked after. So a quick check before you sell will save you a bit of grief.

Both seats move up and down well as they’ve been looked agtet

One thing to note on this model is that they are prone to cracking at the rear drop outs. Also the Curve cranks will be cracked - guaranteed!
