I've sought out one or two threads on this topic so apologies for starting another one :?
I have a 1992 Explosif pro frame and matching TB fork of correct length for non-suspension adjusted frame. Centre of BB to top of seat tube is around 19", but I read that older Kona measure from outside of BB shell to top and this is 18". Effective top tube is about 22.5" and axle to axle is 42" also suggesting 18" frame. Head tube is 5". So.........18"?
Thing is although not properly built up it feels a tad short - hence the 125mm stem, layback post and saddle fully back. I'm 5'11" with long arms and legs, gibbon style. Am wondering if I should seek out a larger size
Would be a bit gutted as it is avery cool frame, but I want to be comfy and it won't be used on anything very technical. Thoughts appreciated.
