Following on from the Kona Hahanna which was very gatefully received by my friend, I was looking out for a circa 20" frame to do another bike for him - his wife took the Kona as it was a bit small for him.
Been searching for a while for a bargain as I wanted to make it as cheap as possible and I ended up getting this for FREE!
Although its a little battle scarred there isn't much chainsuck and there are no dents or bad scratches. I cannot stand dents in bikes so probably wouldn't have taken it on with one. It seems fairly light for a mid range steel frame too.
The frame has some nice shapes to the tubes, tear drop shapes for the top and down tubes and the lovely chunky stays too.
It's going to be resprayed as soon as I find some forks for it. It has a 150mm headtube so I am thinking I need 35mm for a headset and 40mm for a stem, so I need some rigid forks with a steerer of at least 230mm. I like P2's but any forks are hard to find with such a long steerer..... can anyone help me out??
The catalogue says a seatpost of 27.0mm is needed but I couldn't seem to fit that size in, I will try to clean it out a bit to help fitment, also the clamp section might be slightly squeezed in so that might not be helping.
All the threads seem to be fine, although a little rusty. BB shell looks ok and thankfully headset cups are still in which have protected the headtube.
