    Kona Hot Serial Number List - update 10/10/25

    Did anyone manage to get a picture of the SN? Added accordingly, 18" given the 17 3/4 quoted in one of the many posts this appeared in last week. It has the same rust-worm another Hot had, which was also in a very similar original colour (before it was hit with a ghastly respray). I wonder if...

    Unusual Kona models or colours

    It looks similar but that sparkle looks a touch more fancy. Either way, this is super cool, something brand new to the memory banks. For colour matched forks, the 97 Kilauea SE will take some beating 👍

    Today's Ride

    Yesterday evening was, well, this 👍 The off-road season is closing in but whilst it's dry and calm, we'll keep going. This morning was equally still, with no breeze whatsoever but dank and grey. The lights were on all the way home, although the picture from the end of the ride makes it...

    Today's Ride

    Now Amy has moved on, this mornings conditions were 👌 Next to no wind, barely 2-5 mph NW. 10 degrees, rising to about 12. Clear skies, high cloud, another orange sunrise except it didn't rise till I got home. Was joined by 2 groups of bats en-route, in the sheltered spots. Legs were 👍

    If commuting off-road, good, on-road, definitely think about something less precious! Also, whatever you do, make sure you get some frame protection around the seat-tube to prevent cable rub. I know through experience o_O

    Kona Hot Serial Number List - update 10/10/25

    Great wall art though...to be fair, this is repairable in the right hands and if it were mine, it'd be ridden with zero regrets of any further scrapes and scratches. Did anyone here score it? I've updated the list: H09607080 - 16" 1997 Red, Goathead Dropouts. Original Decals. Top of seat-tube...
