I have a 1995 Original Kona Kilauea, 18 inch frame. It's only got 100's of miles on it and apart from the hand grips EVERYTHING is original and in full working order. My husband persuaded me to buy it new but I didn't really take to mountain biking until family came along. I wanted to put some front shockers on it recently as we've started going out more in the last twelve months on family rides, but have been advised not to do this as the frame won't cope, so sadly I need to consider letting it go.
I am in the process of finding out what it will go for and I am advised by our local Evans store that it's worth a good amount of money (even what we paid for it - £900) due to its condition, but I am unsure about this. Can anyone advise where to sell and what I might expect to get. It needs to fund a new bike so I will be careful about what I let it go for.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
