Mad isn't it? Some insane power shift? Fitting the wrong BB or fitting it sideways or just overtightening the BB? Space monkeys?

New Kona Ku find - KU148
Seattle Goodwill very good to me… New to the Ku chat, suddenly interested in how many of these exist. Also, there is another Ku on eBay. Kinda rough and serial # kinda hard to make out.

Nice, not a 16" though, probably measured to top tube.

It's a been a while eh? Last list update since December 2023, so thanks for the 2 new additions:
H9A00480 16" 1998 Metallic blue - Hodaka, 1999, Control Code A, October, 0480 (sold on Kiiji)
This makes it the first known Hodaka built 98 model, and I love the Kona Clump decal. Was it ridden by a member of the team? The fact it's in one piece would suggest no, but it could have been a daily rider. Most likely it was collected by the original owner. Either way, it's cool and the colour is excellent. They really nailed the custom colours in 1998/99.
KU237 18" 1995 cable routing, 1995 decals - Green with yellow/brown flowers/leaves with pink centres (sold on eBay)
A totally unique paint-scheme never seen before. There's got to be a story behind that which the only the original owner will know. Definitely not 16", if it's measured to the top tube and centre BB it's likely 18" but happy to be proven wrong. It looks like it's never seen dirt. But I think we can all agree that 3k is wishful thinking.
That now makes 35 confirmed and 36 total Ku's in the big wide world that we know of. A truly rare beast in the Kona stable.
