Im trying to determine year of Kona Hahanna

[Mike Bike]

I just purchased a Kona Hahanna, here in Australia.
They are few and far betweeen down here.
Im trying to work out the year.

It is metailic blue.
It has a 1" threaded fork, which Ive been told is a 91-93 model.

It does not have an integrated seat post clamp, just an alloy clamp as per common now on almost everything.

The bottom bracket is stamped.

One side is stamped "H3N1"
The other side is stamped "11413"

My guess is the H3N1 is a code for place of manufacture and month and year
and the other is the actual production number.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re:

just been through the same thing with a Hahanna, mine's 1997. Check out the archive section and the old brochures to get an idea, I'm sure someone can decode the serial number as well.

From the details you have given, colour, seat post clamp it sounds like a '92. Though they did have different colours for different markets so a picture would help a lot more than a description.

We have huge catalogue archives to look through so you can compare frame details and decals etc.

Here is '92 catalogue for reference - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/v/M ... 5.jpg.html
