Wanted Kona splatter frame or similar vintage frame

[Mod-Master]

Hello,

I am quite interested in the splatter frames made by kona. I think it would be a nice experience to build up one and ride as I’ve heard they handle well (but weigh a ton) I would also settle for a 91’ 92’ kona around the lava dome range.

I would also be quite interested in anything other frame around that era, as I have a few bits that I’ve collected to put on a frame.

I don’t care about the frame condition, it could have a hole in it for all I care( welder needs to be set up yet)

I’m not made of money so ideally price under £100

Thanks In advance for any suggestions

I’ve seen that, it’s quite nice. Not completely original, it’s got a ritchey logic headset though.

No, but you only wanted a frame and could maybe sell the parts and get some money back.

I’m going near London soon so could pick it up if it goes cheap.

What size you after?

 

[Mod-Master]

Well, what size you got?

I would rather you say what size you have and me say that it’s too small/big than me say what size I am and you say it’s too small/big for me

 

[Beeewu]

Normally you would know what size you are..like buying shoes.
I know someone who’s selling a battered 1990 lava dome..it is tiny..from the photo I’d say a 16” c to t…looks smaller but I read this was the smallest size they did?

 

[Mod-Master]

Wow, that would need a long seatpost!

I’m in the ballpark of 5’ 6”

That is certainly nice though…
