Please give length of top tube c-c, weight and length of fork it was designed for.

 

[amt27]

Tob tube c-c is 55.3 cm

Weight is 1700 g

Not sure on what fork length it is designed for, neither the catalogue or a mag review I have tell me. It was designed for use with the UGLI fork. I am using the frame with a Cannondale P-Bone fork 400 mm long, also used a set of '98 SIDs on it over the summer.

Thanks.

I'm puzzled then - it appears to have the top tube length of a Kona size 16 and the top tube height of a Kona size 19. Presumably designed for somebody much bigger than me, using a 135mm stem to get the length right?

And the weight is lightish, but not very light - implying plain-guage tubes and a stiffish ride?

I'm no expert on frame geometry and ride feel, so can't really comment, I scanned the geometry page from the catalogue if it's any help

Fairly light for a frame of its age, but it is no litespeed, merlin or fat chance as far as tubing and craftmanship goes, but the price reflects that,
