This bike is an original installation or a mixture of several components and several years bike?

It's not the top spec tho, it's the 'budget' kit. The highest spec model would of came in at a lesser weight.

Re:

Its_kirby is correct that this bike does not include the most expensive kit.

There has been extensive discussion on this thread about the fact that a King Kahuna frame could be purchased with one of two Kona custom kits, and this bike is the Kona Custom Kit One. (And I think there can be friendly disagreement about how to classify it; while that kit was indeed less expensive than the top-shelf Factory Kit, it's also the same kit that was spec'd for the Reynolds 853 Kona Hot bike in 1996, and I certainly wouldn't call that a "budget" bike... It was Kona's top-of-the-line steel model.)

To see the full discussion for an accurate understanding of frame and parts, look back a few pages.

Having actually owned that bike/kit. I'd say it was fairly standard/budget and mine came with the kona ti handlebar option. Needless to say on both the hot and the kk it's the frames that bring in the punters not the middle of the road finishing kit

Agreed, and a perfectly fair comment. And either way, an essentially new OEM complete bike is a nice find.
