(S) Kona cinder cone or lava dome from 1990 in 19.5'' white

[stoppi_71]

Hello!

After I've missed an ebay-auction (Damn! :x ) I'm looking here for a

Kona Cinder Cone frame with fork or complete bike (would prefer just f+f) from 1990 in 19,5 inch size and the long steertube to protect my back like the pictured bike.

It could also be a similar looking lava dome from 1990.

Maybe someone has just that white beauty at home and doesn't know, how to get rid of it... I'd pay with paypal if possible!

Thank's a lot and best wishes from austria, stoppi

Hello Charlie!

Thank's for your offer, lovely bike but

... it seems to be a little bit too small for me (need a longer steertube) and
... a few years too young

Best wishes from austria, stoppi

No half sizes Stoppi .......... Circa 1990 : 19" ....... Top tube 22.75

21" ....... Top tube 23.25

i was thinking the steerer was either down to older geometry or that it was a size 20 or 21

Hello Rob!

Thank's for the information. Could you identify the frame size of the pictured bike?

After this it seems that I'd need a 19" frame. The 23.25" top tube of the 21"-frame will be too long :?

How is the "Kona"-lenght being measured, center to center?

Well in this case Kona have given that measurement in a line projected horizontally from the steerer to where it intersect with seat post.
Does that make sense? :roll:

Strangely enough the 1991 brochure says 19" ........... 23.5 and the 20" ......... 24.0

Could all be a printing error :?

Then again I could just measure one of mines (1990/91 19" Konas)
