So I came home with a Kona & Gary Fisher frame && My its first post!

The one pictured in the catalogue is a smaller frame size which is why there's a tube overlap, the bigger sizes dont have it.

hmmmm perhaps I measured using ‘yankee units’ or was misinformed on how Kona’s are rightly measured. But thought this was a smaller frame, but not the smallest size that it measured at 16” ? When I get back I’ll have to measure again but with metric soft tape.

Yours looks to be a larger size in your pic, the catalogue one is probably a 16" but they did a 14" as well. Here's a couple of pics of a cindercone in different sizes to set your mind at rest, they did this a lot to maintain the geometry:
