Great...although it thoroughly deserves to be ridden off-road! Do you have a picture of the SN you could share?
Is that a Haole behind it?

I'll always keep it nice and never drive it off-road. Yes it's a 1993 Haole. I started a thread there, but no one was interested yet.

Nice, we have that on file but if you have any more pictures of the full bike, it'd be great to see them.
We've got that one on file.
A few more added to the list thanks again to @swannymere
The SN places it firmly in 1996 but I'm a little thrown by the decals which are 1997 and looks pretty genuine part from the top of the seat-tube that has the wrong orange colour/looks off. Perhaps they are original but back from the day/era, and actual Kona decals. Anyway, for now:
B18527 - Top Tube: 1996 style front & rear Stops for Rear Brake Cable, replica 1997 Yellow Decals
A good looking 1993 model:
B18133 - Bullet, Long Seat Tube extension. Missing Kona custom seat-tube decal.
A very clean looking 1998 HH. I say 1998 and not 1999 because it doesn't look like the headtube area has been stripped of it's paint, plus the decals look original and are 98:
KH18030 - Original Decals complete.
These are particularly rare, only the 7th recorded on the list.
As ever, please correct me if I'm wrong, and please share any further details or newly spotted, unlisted examples with me on this thread or via PM.
