Calling all investigators - Help identifying my 'new' Kona

[ktm301p]

Evening all,

This evening I purchased this bike off my friend, it's been a few years since I was tearing up single track or attempting downhill runs but because the price was more then reasonable I thought I'd buy it to re-kindle the riding flame.

It is a Kona Coiler Deluxe, with upgraded Shimano wheels and Rockshox forks. I'll find out the exact spec tomorrow but from some searching online, I can't identify the year of the bike. So this is my question, from this (rather poor) picture, can you guys figure out which year this model belongs to?

Thanks all
Alex

Fun bike!

Thanks, I rode around last night in the village just having some fun with it - and it's lighter then the Stinky I rode previously, and the suspension feels so sophisticated compared to the Carrera Banshee X I used to ride. I'm looking forward to exploring my local trails on it!

Cleaned her up this morning and then put the Kona in it's resting place for the next month whilst I'm away doing exams at University
