Original King Kahuna Decals

Mmm a '97. It's a 17" though and he wants an 18 or 19 if I remember correctly.

No the one on eBay is not a 17 - I agree the photo is bad and it could be a 19, but I think it's more likely an 18.

I don't know how you can tell. It says the frame size is 17.

OK, well I'll tell you then - feast your eyes on Mr Zero's superb size 17 Hei Hei in the current BoTM, compare the extended line of the top tube as it crosses the rear wheel, also see that the angle of the seat stay is slightly less steep than the down tube. That says it's a 17. On an 18 the seat stay is parallel to the down tube, that's why I think the eBay bike is an 18.

Sweet. Good eye you have. I never noticed that, but it's nice to learn something new!
