Blimey that is mint! Perfect shortcut for anyone doing an original Lava Dome build.

How is the Kona frame size worked out? Is it from BB to top of centre tube or BB to top tube?

 

[BarneyRubble]

Not sure but this might help:

Frame Size 14"..............16" ..................17".................18"

Height 4'9" - 5'3".......5'0" - 5'7" .......5'4" - 5'10".....5'6" - 6'0"



Frame Size 19".............. 20"...............21" ................23"

Height 5'8" - 6'3".....6'0" - 6'4"......6'2" - 6'7"......6'5" - 6'10"

Size is measured from centre of BB to top of the seat-tube. They also did a 21" in 1993, but i've never seen one and i'm not sure what frames they offered it on (if at all in the UK).

Had a close look at this yesterday - just before my mate took it up the Shop and sold it "trade".
I believe it is at least 99% original - down to the brake blocks and inner tubes! It did a claimed 108 miles before being carefully stored.
I would imagine as good a '93 bike as one is ever likely to find.
(And yes I did trail it on here for him, but he wouldn't be hassled with descriptions etc...)
Usual disclaimer - I have no interest in the auction.
