17" frame and forks (doesnt have to be retro)

[paul_H]

After getting a giant boulder to fix up I have finally admited to myself that as nice and light as it is its just too big for me so I sold the frame.

Being only 5-7" a 19" frame is just too large so I am on the lookout for a nice and light frame and forks in good condition somewhere around the 17" size with "v" brakes. (slightly smaller will be fine)

I have everything that I can transfer over from my giant so just looking for the frame and forks preferably, doesn't really have to be a retrobike so what you all got stashed away in your sheds

cheers

Hi Paul,

Inbred? 18" centre to top, but only about 16" to top of top tube although quite long. Not sure how light it is

Quite a little 18, or I wouldn't suggest it (specs are in the 2000 Kona catalogue hosted on this site if you want to see exact geometry).

PM if interested.
