Re: Kona

Nice bike dude but i thought the '98 was black originally? Cant beat a bit of Leftfield either

May have been I bought her in 1998 as a 1999 bike :? I'll dig out my receipt.

Here is how she looked pre Argos...

Wow

I think that looks brilliant, really lovely paint job too. Can you let me knwo how much you paid as i need the same doing to my bike and they are clearly worth a visit.

Thats a really lovely machine, enjoy her!

Looks very nice indeed and excellent paint job

Thought you might like to compare it to mine, was definitely a 99

That's the same owner's manual that came with my 97 Kilauea. Unfortunately my former wife threw it away. From memory some sections of it are a bit tedious, but some of the technical stuff about the frame specs etc is well worthy of scanning for the Retrobike Archive IMHO.

Can do.

Went out for a very wet & sandy ride yesterday - sand is not good when you get it in your shorts

Here is a single pic of the Caldera - after this was taken it was just too muddy wet and sandy to bother with pics! :roll:

Only thing changed over spec on page one is a wider bar.

Fantastic Orange bikes rock! Was '99 the last year of the steel Caldera?
