My Kona kula primo

[mtbkez]

Thought I would start something for the 98+ bike thread my 2005 kona kula primo. Bought as a frame and built up over a period of weeks. She’s seen many changes over the year’s. From v brakes to Magura hs33 and finally now running Disc’s.

Really great colour choices, really flows. Super tidy.

That looks great, some really choice kit and careful colour matching has brought out the best in what can often look like a bit of mess (the frame liveries were all over the place at this point in Kona's journey). I bet it rides like the wind too. Great work!

That's ace, I have the same frame, bought in 05 and built up and raced, back then it was top of the range Fox forks, full xtr and cross max ssc's. Loved it but some years in the wilderness the components had to be scrapped and thankfully the frame remains intact, tempting to rebuild having seen your fine effort.
