Cheap single speed frame

Kona Kaboom frame, 18". £75 posted.
It's the version with the luminous decals!
If you need extra bits, a black P2 fork also available, also chainset, as is the Hope rear wheel (I reckon the axle is slightly bent and needs replacement). Takes a 27.2 seatpost.
I finally found a 16" one and the frame has sat around in the garage for a year.

Re: Re:
Almost bob on the same weight as a steel Explosif of the same era: 1600g/3.6lbs, a smidge heavier than a Cindercone of the same year (I had that as a singlespeed, was 1550g/3.4lbs). The rear triangle is slightly longer to accommodate the slotted dropouts.
Without going bonkers on lightweight stuff (so as the photo) it was 9.3kgs / 20.5lbs all-up including pedals.
