Unusual Kona models or colours

[Mortonm]

The 1993 North American Catalogue that I have on file shows all of the models in one solid colour, including the Blue Fire Mountain that you mentioned. I could look into adding the 1993 U.S. Catalogue to the Site's Archive.

I would enjoy that!

Nice! I had a pink 1990 explosif frame I sold earlier this year. No decals. I believe we were communicating about it

This is a sort of Pink-ish 1990 Explosif, which Alasdair sent to me. I believe he and Adrian saw it on FB:

While I'm trawling through my records.... here are three Lava Dome's from 1990:

The Catalogue lists Fluorescent Red:

There is a small one of those red lava domes near me for sale. I just have no need of it. Looks nice

...... And now I'm just showing off my extensive records on file of Kona stuff

The 1988/ 89 Explosif is usually Pistachio with Yellow Splatter. Here are two alternatives.

All White with no Splatter:

The tile of the thread is "Unusual Kona models or colours"

Here are two models that do not appear in any catalogue:

The 2000 Kyber was double butted chromoly and had glow in the dark decals. They were used as Whistler/Blackcomb rental bikes, and had Ritchey Dropouts:

This is a thing of beauty though.......

The 1998 Kona Una, which is a Sliding Dropout / Single Speed version of the Hei Hei:
