Oh  :o :o :o :o :o your kona looks like the same frame indeed ! Could you give me (us) its name/reference ?

Made by yeti ? I'm not sur but iI don't think :



I'm going to search a kona reference frame so.
Who knows what is a K2 100% rigid ?

Hi Stephane,

I'm also new here and I found out I asked the same question as you did! I also have an unidentified old K2 bike. Mine is a Comp 91 Ultralight! See pics!

Did you find out anythin about your bike? I'm very interested!!

I have done mountainbike racing in 1991 with a K2 comp 71   
I have bought the K2 Comp 71 from my mountainbikedealer who's was the first owner 
The model Comp 71,81 and 91 are made in the year 1990
It was a original name frome an ski companie that brougt mtb on the market from about 1989 I guess till sommewhere about 1994
The comp 71 was with Deore LX
The comp 81 was with Deore DX
and the Comp 91 was with Deore XT

I never knew that K2 designed in a curved section at the dropouts like Yetis on any bikes.

Yeps, they have that drop-out style like a Yeti with those early bike's
but not the same cable routing like a Yeti, K2 did the routing on top of the toptube
Yeti did the routing sideways of the toptube
