Mate you can still fit a King to it by getting the internal 'shims'. You can get them from BETD or Chainreaction (i think) I have them on my Giant MTB and they work a treet! allowed me to fit my King to it. the only thing is they're as tight as a fishes arse to fit!

yep pickle 1993 kona kilauea tange prestige concept tubing a great work horse i resprayed it recently and got some decals on there way

It's in the same colours as my old mag burner but weighs less

You sure can't beat Kona for a hardtail MTB! i've had quite afew over the years.........Nu Nu, Pahoe Pahoe and my fave (which my nephew still has) was my Polished roast frame.

Nice looking ride, although i'd have to have some suspension up front mate! fully ridgid is a little too extreme for me! I've moved on to 5 inches up front and up to 8 at the back now........it's amazing how fast you can throw it downhill with all that travel!

zed4130 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 12, 2006, 04:02 PM »

nah i done the whole suspensinon thing ive been riding mtb's for 17 years and ive tryed the lot i had a giant atx1 full sus and my first kona was a explosive i got in 1999 great bike 'i got the kilauea in 93 the only thing left on it from new is front mech mountain lx'i did have rockshox upfront but i prefer rigid i have a suspension seat post though

saves the arse i still have the project 2's in my shed

and the original wheels

have a day on the fullsusser then get back on a bmx,it's weird.

i've got a bighit 7" at the front and 8" at the rear,after a days racing downhill,i went to the works on the bmx and i nearly killed myself,on the bmx everything is so quick and twitchy and you haven't as far to fall so you can't ready yourself before you hit the ground.

Nice quad - cant wait to do mine!
Those grips rule - mongoose released a tyre called the mongoose Blur - just like the comp III, then did a grip too - remember them -- they ruled!
And as for mtb's - im building a hardtail Charge Duster titanium frame up into a complete as we speak!
