1999 Kona Kapu - what's it worth? ride quality?
Picked up this bike cheap with the intentions of moving the ultegra stuff to another bike. Before I do that - any idea what it's worth as-is? or just frame and fork? Anyone here own one and can comment on the bike?

Shimano Ultegra 6500 is a very nice group but this is showing serious drivetrain wear. Also, Columbus' Altec2 aluminum tubesets don't get a lot of love and arguably less when they're used on non-Italian framesets from a brand that is known primarily for ATBs. In an average market, at this time of year, I'd value it at ~$300-$350.

Columbus and an olive drab Kona road bike. Very unique find.
