I've finally completed my 2006 Dawg Deluxe Team Edition build, here are the pics.

Heading out first thing tomorrow to fine tune it.

Looks really good! Where'd you find such a frame? Have fun riding, i miss my Dawg.

Nice looking build, dig the Goldtooth too.

I found it on craigslist. The guy had recently moved here from Europe so I imagine that might have something to do with the rarity. I emailed Kona about it and the guy that responded hadn't even heard of one.

Yup, we had a few summer models in 2006 that were dubbed Team Edition, had a different paint job and were basically upgraded Deluxe models for the same price.
I even managed to dig up some (crappy) pics:
Kula Deluxe Team Edition
Dawg Deluxe Team Edition

I think there was a Kikapu Deluxe Team Edition, too, but I can't find a pic of it.

Sweet paint!!! wish mine had that, but i do like my grey/blue colors...
love the bike, nice components, - the sram

thanks for the replies everyone. Yeah, since I bought X7/X9 bits for my bear I've been hooked on Sram. I got a great deal from greenfish for one of their build kits; up until now I never really thought high end shifters were worth the extra $ (why I went with X7 shifters on my older bike)
but these X9 shifters are phenomenal. X9 shifters + X9 derailleur + fully sealed dry cables = spot on shifting every time. Aside cable stretch I've had to do no adjusting. I'll get some pics of her dirty once I think to bring a camera on a ride. She now has a name too...Rosalitta. I know I'm a loser
