Both my '91' Explosif and '90' Lava Dome (both 19") have 22" top tube measure along the top tube from the centre of the seat tube to the centre
of the steerer tube. NOT the same way that Kona measure horizontally (projected).
Thank's for your efforts and information and for the link (to gravymonster). I'm already in contact with gil, but he is a very tough seller...
His kona is looking exactly the way the above pictured and this would be a 19'' center to center; 21'' center to top seattube and with 23'' tob tube center to center.
So this seems to be a 21'' model, because I can't imagine a larger frame with a larger steertube :roll:
Best wishes and still waiting for a inexpensive frame, stoppi
Thank's for the offer but I'm looking exactly for the pictured white frame ...
Ad stumpjumper: Last week I've missed an ebay-auction, where a complete bike with suntour components has been sold for 85 pounds.
The problem with gil's bike is the amount of rust patches. On his photographs here in the forum you don't see them and I thought, his bike would be in a better condition... :cry: Maybe the rust is just a surface problem (gil is checking this at the moment)...
So, in the worst case I've to wait for another offer.
