Love that Karakoram paintwork

Yeah it is really nice when you see it, if it doesn't sell i might just put it as a wall hanger lol

GT's are center bb to center top tube, so it looks like my old Zaskar. They didn't make 19"
18", 20" (60CM), 22" for the really big man. @kingoffootball would know.

Makes sense so it's a 18" frame

Remembered i still had the box from the Kona AA what's behind it,so and this is only for the frame and forks bikes not the frame onlys i'm not posting them for a tenner lol If you buy one of the frame and forks and want to arrange your own courier i'll box it up for you, UK postage only though.
And this is the Lavadome with its forks.

Loving the Muddy Fox (originally came with Suntour XCD 6000! ) and a good size for us shorties!

And that awesome Purple Haze Karakorum. Would be a great wall hanger if it didn't sell. LOVE that paint job!

GLWS and trying to tidy up!

Yep, the seat tube should measure 18" C-C and about 20.5" C-T.

Beautiful paint and still when they were using internal cable routing. I love those 1990 Karakorams.

You learn something new everyday as they say. I've been asked about the measurement for the Explorer but curiosity got to me and thought i'll have a look and see what sizes Muddy Fox did so had a look at the 88 catalogue. Turns out they never done a 18 inch bike the smallest was a 19.5 inch frame (photo from catalogue for reference) So i've been and done a check and if you measure from centre of bb to top of the seatube it measures 19.5,so that's how they done there measurements back then, never knew that.

Hi! I literally registered on the forum to ask if the karakoram is still available as I was just looking for a frame like that one? I'm unsure how to send a personal message however so apologies for spamming the thread.
