Excellent - do you have any links or information about that last point?

Information comes from the seller: he bought the bike from Wilfried Straub. This rider existed in the 90s, he recently became gravel world champion, but I have no proof whether the story is true. Supposedly the 1992 Hei Hei was given as a prize for winning the championship. I will ask Wilfried.

Kona Hei Hei 1992

Thank goodness we know that the high 200's onwards make it a 1992 given there are no original decals left. The 1997 decals look highly original, so it's great to see it was well used throughout it's life in the 90s.

B17310 - Pre-Bullet, Canti Bridge, Long Seat Tube extension, Rear Brake Noodle complete. Original decals missing. Genuine 1997 yellow downtube decals and sponsor decals.
