OK, so here's the story - bought this as a whole bike with a right mish mash of parts on it, as I wanted a lot of the bits off it for another build, I always intended to pass it on but then discovered it was my size so put it on top of the wardrobe to keep for the future...
However, I need some cash for the other builds so I'm putting it up for sale; if it doesn't go I want be too sad mind! Pics don't do it justice as the weather is so damn awful here today I can't get it out in the natural light. Some outdoor pics are from the other day.
17" centre BB to top of seat tube (probably what Kona would have called a 16" back then)
14.5" centre to centre, seat tube
Actual top tube is 21" centre to centre
I stripped it so I know all the threads are perfect, and look as the inside of that BB shell - it had a cable guide with a built in oiler (which will go with frame) as a result it looks like the day it came out of the factory in there! Very 'crimped in' where the seat tube meets the BB shell, like the Explosifs. Some rusty scuff marks to top of seat tube (see pic) where a child seat bracket was attached, apparently. Chips, scuffs, etc, to rest of frame, but no serious rust (unlike my '95 Cindy frame :facepalm: )
It's lovely in a care worn kind of way. I want £50 for it, I think that's fair.
At this point, collection is preffered, or meet up at Junction 25 of the M5 in Somerset.
If enough/any interest from members further afield, I will post it, but it will cost me £15 with ParcelFarce as I no longer have access to the cheap next day courier through work, and as a result, no bubble wrap/box, etc, so will need time to find these things....
