2000 KONA SCORE Titanium 15" Frame NEW

This is a like new, UNRIDDEN KONA Score Titanium Hardtail Frame. Made by TST in USA.
These are VERY rare. Hard to find in any condition, but this is in like new/un-ridden condition.

I believe this one was from a complete bike that was never ridden. I bought the frame from a shop in AZ through MTBR several years ago.
Before I ever built it up, I got a 29er and never went back to it.

It was to be a very limited release complete bike in their 2000-2001 "Out of Bounds" line ( "All mountain", or "Freeride Hardtail"). It turned out to be too Expensive as a complete bike for the market, so Kona stopped making them after a limited production run. Possibly only a few complete bikes were sold, and the rest of the frames were closed out to dealers.

I am not sure if this was one of the Factory complete bikes, or a custom build, I bought it as a frame only. I started to mock up a build to check the fit, so it has had a wheel in the dropouts, and a seat collar and post in it. I have not pressed in a headset or installed a BB crank or fork in the frame (and it does not look like there ever were). Aside from a few nicks in the decals from being moved around, it looks perfect/like new. The decals are very thin surface decals (no clearcoat), with Glow-in the dark accents, which , unfortunately, are very delicate, so most of the frames you see have had the original decals removed.

Please Message for more photos, measurements, or info. There's not a lot of info on these frames. I have even spoken to our Shop's Kona sales rep. about it, and they no longer have much info on it either.
