Kona Frame Size From Photo Help?

[LeeDevelopment]

Can any of the resident Kona experts tell me what size this Lave Dome frame is please?

Thank you.

“Looks” the same proportions as my 91 Lava Dome and it’s an 18”

Thank you.

How is the Kona frame size measured if I may ask? C to c, c to t, or c to top of seat tube?

Looks more like a 19" to me.

Depends what year it is, pre '93 are measured from the top of the bb shell to the top, after are measured centre of bb to top.

Here’s the geometry for Lava Dome etc from the 91 catalogue.
Hope this helps you.

Thank you so, so, so, so much. It was a post '93.

It was a 2001 bike, but sizing methods are the same.

Just closed your old build thread and lost the link, couldn't see the size mentioned.

As a good few of you know I had a load of problems getting this painted, alas it's now all sorted (Phew!) and I've started to put the bits and pieces together ....slowly. Still need to pop through to the LBS to get the BB and rear mech hanger threads re-tapped, probably get across after work tomorrow evening all being well.

Apologies for the 'grease spots' in some of the photos, oh and the half drunk cup of coffee!!

Here's the frame when I got it from LeGrandeFromage way back when:
