Vintage Kona Fire mountain bike frame 22

It doesn't look like a 22 does it? I think he must have taken the size from the top tube c-c. Which is actually a very sensible thing to do IMHO. It's just a nuisance that the bicycle industry does something different.

It's a 1992 frame in fact - the colours often used to come out different from the catalogue pictures in those days, but I guess that's lime green to a Taiwanese eye.

The head tube looks like a 15cm to me, in which case it would be a size 19 according to the 1992 geometry.
 
You're right, the 22" measurement is from the top tube, not the seat tube. Just noticed that he even states it in the description :oops:

Btw, how long top tubes did 19" frames have in '92? 22"?
