For Sale: Kona 1997 Lava Dome 19” Full Build £280

I’m moving to France and need to sell a load of stuff before I go. Take a look and let me know if you have any questions. Based in SE16 but willing to travel / meet somewhere in London if required.

Kona 1997 Lava Dome 19” Full build £280 ono

Sadly parting ways with my beloved Kona Lava Dome. I had this built up with a full XTR M-950/952 group set and it absolutely slapped. Did most of the Old Chalk Way on it and many other overnighters, long days, forest jaunts etc. I'm selling most of that groupset if anyone is interested and also keeping some bits. You can find that here https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/390806/

Paint is a really nice metallic sparkly deep green, with yellow logos, in pretty good condition considering how old it is. See photos. It's a chromoly frame which seems really solidly built.

I originally had all these parts on the purple Lava Dome (also listed below) for my wife but she never rode it, so I swapped it all back onto the larger frame. I would obviously prefer to sell it as seen but would consider splitting it out for parts out if you make the right offer. Just let me know!

Had this built up as a fixed gear many years ago. Paint is tatty, and I think it's a little bit out of alignment, but I need it gone and don't want to throw it, it's a lovely frame.

Any questions let me know
Thanks for looking!

Always loved these retro Konas.

Interested in the green one if you were to split.

Also, I’m sure your ‘1994’ is really 1997 and the ‘1997’ is actually 2002. Just fyi…

Yeah me too, I also have a Cinder Cone from 1994 with the fluted seat tube which is sick. I've seen a lot of cool builds with these frames - they're pretty versatile.

There's been some interest in the green 1997(!) Lava Dome build but will let you know if it falls through and if I have time to split it out.

Cheers for the info, you're totally right - I'll update the listing now.

Gazelle frame no longer available

Kona made amazing bikes back in the day... GLWS

Price drop on the green Kona Lava Dome - £350

I'm after a pair of P2 forks with disc tab if you end up splitting

bump for a good seller. test rode the kona last week and had a blast, great bike in good nick too. Sadly was a little bit too small for me, ended up with a 20 inch marin few days after, if that kona was 20/21 would take in a heart beat

Banger of a bike that. If I didn’t already have three bikes I’d snap it up. Best of luck with the sale!

Cheers for the info, you're totally right - I'll update the listing now.

Hi would you take £75 for the little Kona frame. Thanks
