I often think back to the kona / Marin / Saracen frames I had in the 80s to mid 90s and how imaginative the colorway & decals were.These days I’m all ‘I want a plain green one’ this summer I’m gonna go out more on my old #konalavadome .It looks thrashed but it’s so fun to ride. Really light GF model
You’re totally right Oz. My first MKS were on a kona in the early 1990s . Never looked back . I could spin the pedals on that old #konalavadome right now and they would spin true. That’s 30 years & that bike has been thrashed ♥️🚲
Those are fine bikes in fine colours . Thanks for sharing . I love the pink .#crustbombora in #timfitzwater videos Erin’s bike. I ♥️ the Sergio green of #rivendellsusielongbolts . I have an old early 90s #konalavadome that’s a lovely deep blue. It’s battered but I’d never part with it or respray it
Marcus from #probablyriding shares a nostalgic vibed ride on a 90s #kona MTB in English woodland. It’s ages since I have ridden a bike with a front suspension. Planning to use the kona as a #restomodmtb I’m looking forward to seeing what is done as I have a early 90s #konalavadome 🚲♥️
Vuelta or tioga used to make them back in the day . A kind of white cream look. I had a pair similar in the 1990s on my #konalavadome in my first ‘coloured tire’ craze . Of all the parts changes on a bike. Tires are amongst the best alongside bars. I rarely change seats as I only like a few 😆
Beautiful bike . I have the same fears about my #konalavadome a 1993 one . Still you gave that lovely GT frame a 1000k it may never have had. The Karakoram has such a distinctive silhouette . Thanks for sharing ❤️🚲
I’d love to see that. This summer has run away with me but I plan to do the same with my #konalavadome . 1993 model . The #garyfisher #racelight one . I have rode that bike for 30 years and I love it so. It needs its time back in the sun ❤️🚲
So a #konalavadome depending on parts spec-as I recall was about £500 in the uk in 1993. The Bank of England says that’s about £1100 now (allowing for inflation) but there’s one on eBay for £238 which is about $320 dollars at current rates. Are old MTBs from the USA selling for cheaper rates here ?
Manchester : never ever out of sight. Never ever at a public bike stand . And That’s with a 1993 #konalavadome never mind a surly . Too much experience & witnessing of bike theft. 🚲😞
#bluelug debate if the #26wheel is going extinct. Obviously they have the retail & trade trend & sales knowledge but I hope not.I still love my early 90s #konalavadome & the #ridefeel of a #26mtb is like no other.Got love for #700c #650b but I’m 5’8” & I love the #26wheelset .What’s your thoughts 🚲❤️
#konalavadome 🚲❤️
It wasn’t but it soon became my #dailyride so my old #konalavadome is now a project for next summer . 93 model . Change the forks . Add a front rack . Make it 2by.
Totally agree . I have a project for 2025 to completely rebuild my #konalavadome I have had since the early 90s . Such a lovely frame
Classic bike . I still have my #konalavadome from the same period #90sMTB
I have the same #konalavadome
