Kona Cinder Cone-To keep or let go......


Dalt

Recommended Posts

Hi.

I am new to the forum. What a great platform. I am a proud owner of a Kona Race Lite Cinder Cone Steel Frame Vintage supercool mountain bike. Do you guys think it is worth selling or keeping. If I decide to sell...what will the going price be. XL frame.....

 

Thanks

Dalton

Definitely keep.

 

Original and in that condition. Do a cleanup and enjoy it.

 

I wish I had a classic lady like that in my stable.

Dude. Why even the question! ... KEEP!

A beaut, are those Curve cantilevers the original brakeset? Recall Kona coming with Ritchey Logic and Avid. 

Have those same Curves on my CX/gravel bike. Ballache to setup, but once done they run beautifully.

Gotta keep it. Loved my Kona's. Still have them. My first was a Kona Hahana. And then also a Cinder Cone. Mine is blue. Saw a lot more work than yours.

 

The Hahana has rigid fork. The Cinder Cone has Rock Shock.

Had an AA and then an Explosif. Loved those bikes.

Post PnP specials and a Bridgestone these were my first 'real' bikes growing up.

Definitely a keeper! As in part of your estate. If you had to let it go it could fetch 8-10k I would say. If you found a collector that is. I have a 2014 Unit which I plan to keep for good too

Those are the original brakeset,

I have a set in the box from my installing v-brakes to the same frame all those years ago.

 

Other than the tyres and saddle that bike is pretty much stock standard

I think you should get DR's opinion.

If you have memories and space, then keep.

Otherwise for the right price, I would consider a sell.

Certainly would not try to enhance or change that great bike in any way.

We do not sell children!

 

What a beaut, yes, some TLC and enjoy her on long autumn rides through lush green fields...

Based on how much seat post you have exposed I would say the bike is too big for you and you sell to me.  :D  :D  :D

 

Seriously though unless you find a collector or person who will appreciate it for what it is you are not gonna get much. If you dont need the money I would definitely keep it. 90's Konas will always be timeless classics.
