Let's see those Kona HumuHumu & Kona A'Ha

[Purzell]

I just posted an intro today, here’s mine. I love looking at these. Hope more show up. I’ll be keeping the general layout here but freshening up this bike. Been looking for one for years!

 

[Purzell]

Taking ideas for a wheel build for this bike. Although I love a lot of color, I think I’m going to stick with silver, or silver and black. According to FedEx my new tires should be here today. I went with Vans/Cult all black BMX tires. The bike needs a headset too.

First build. Then swapped the fork

Dizzle Problems! Found you on IG. I’m the one that messaged you about the Flyer. That bike is so hot! You swapped it?!

Oh yea. Hey man. Thank you. I just swapped the fork from the black with canti mounts for the chrome one. I had another project the black fork worked better for.

The chrome works best here too, if you ask me. The coaster brake Humus look great without any cables

It looks amazing. I love everything about that bike. Here’s a little closeup of my new Vans tires. The tube I replaced had six patches. That’s a new record find for me.

Anyone thinking about grabbing this? Too expensive for me…at this point. Smalls seem to be the most common for whatever reason.

Yeah 16" seatpost, that's definitely a small. Seems pretty expensive too, considering condition. And yet, LOOPTAIL!!
Here's the geo chart for that era, if anyone wants to have an idea of fit

Matti what year do you think it is?

The graphics look like 98. 97 Kona headbadge: jungle art and a big K. 98 jungle, big K, Kona underneath

 

[Dizzle Problems]

I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t sold. I don’t think the price is bad at all. For how many were made it’s kinda astonishing more don’t pop up. If it was a large, I woulda hit the buy it now button without a thought.

 

[RustyGold]

If you're doing a BMX cruiser...that is the perfect size with a 22.3" top tube.

 

[Purzell]

I think the coaster brake mount is missing from the chainstay. That said, if it were a medium—

Someone get this so I don’t turn into an Epic Level Bike Hoarder like Rusty

 

[RustyGold]

I was much better off when I was a novice bike hoarder...I don't wish epic on nobody.

Heads up, I have no affiliation but since I know lots of people on here are on the search for Humu's

Thank goodness, someone bought it. Hope we see the build here!

It doesn't look like it sold, the newer 29er version is great stock

 

[Purzell]

Sorry I was referring to the black one on eBay
