    Kona Explosif frame only £799

    Very easy to be sued if someone fits a 30 year old dodgy part and dies. I personally wouldn’t want to operating without some sort of insurance as a minimum. LTD co keeps you away from all that if the worst happens Amazon require you have insurance with amazon named on the policy too. I think...

    But the NI is tax deductible so comes off corp tax anyway so no biggie. Employ 3 people and you can get the grant too. Plus as a director you can not pay any NI yourself whilst also keeping a full NI record.

    Kona Explosif frame only £799

    Creative ways to pay yourself , claim more deductibles , pay into pensions and NI savings etc. Plus he could also make his wife a director and repeat the same again. Plus kids if of working age. Downside is VAT , and little up side for him as his stock won’t allow him to offset it.

    He wouldn’t be able to escape HMRC with the amount of items / sales he has. Nothing on companies house suggests he is limited which is surprising and quite a silly way of doing it if so. Theres no way his turnover is below the threshold. You can be based at home in a bedroom , be a one man...

    Silly money. More than a Hot frame by a decent chunk too

    Kona Ku Serial Number List - update 19/09/25

    I’ve also just created a FB group for Ku owners. Hopefully it’ll drag more out of the shadows over the years https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1BtGdUfsSp/?mibextid=wwXIfr

    Kona Ku Serial Number List - update 19/09/25

    Im suprised to be honest as I kind of expected it to glow. The yellow and my green seem to have the same pearl/ met effect and obviously we’ve previously compared frame tubing sizes etc If as Dan said less than 5 were Glow. It could mean that mine is the only known survivor

    My lights are LED tubes which charge mine. Takes a couple of minutes.

    I feel like it’s quite a big discovery this. Who’s gonna have the first glowing Hot ….

    Likely so. Is there any other glow ones known in a Hot?

    Yes we are. It’s also pretty cool that we’ve now learned they actually did some glow in the dark Ku. I feel that owners need to check if theirs glows now or is mine gonna be the only 1?

    I believe it’s the same as a Kula from the same year.

    97 Ku build & now a 98 Ku

    Here’s a question for Ku owners but likely also other Kona models So we are all aware of the glow in dark decals which came out late 90s /00s but possibly i can reveal something I’ve never seen mentioned. Our garage is in complete darkness as it has no windows. Which means I never go in...
