I can't positively identify this but it's 20" to top of seat tube, 3 cables running along centre of top tube, 29.4 seatpost, 5 lbs 1 oz stripped bare, serial begins F.., no other clues. Looks more like a Kona than anything. Steel must be alloyed with something as it doesn't rust, but is magnetic.
Rides really nicely. 3 new project bikes arriving so it needs to go.
Wanting to clear £200 in its present spec with 80 mm travel '99 Judy SL's, Mavic rims on M570 hubs, Sugino cranks.
Nice blank canvas for a paint job or leave it as is & say it's ti!

29.4mm seat post :?

You sure?

Maybe wrong but I am pretty sure Kona never produced a production frameset requiring a 29.4mm sea tpost.

Could be wrong though :?
 
the seat post binder/bolt makes me think it isnt a Kona - could still possibly be a Voodoo though?

got any serial number info?

intreaguing that it isnt rusting..
 
'91 Cinder Cone, at least, had braze on seat clamp, maybe others? This is V brake specific though so 1996 earliest. Serial no is F & 6 or 7 numbers.
Definitely 29.4 s'post - I've shimmed-up a 27.2.
