Hi All, sorry just got to this and thought i'd replied but must have clicked the wrong button. So to answer the questions;
Size is quoted 19" and what i've just measured [20" if you include the tube protrusion with the clamp]. I'm about 5'10" and it was fine for me so give or take a few inches. Top tube / crossbar is 23".
I've never posted a bike before and my initial investigation into getting a box, packing, posting and insurance seemed uneconomic compared to the value of the bike. Also, if i was buying i would want to see it before parting with my money, but if its the other end of the country its not practical. Any suggestions on how this can be done economically appreciated.
Sounds like some of you have more bikes than me [and more room to store them!], so if you are interested in acquiring a few more I have a 5 Spot and Mount Vision already listed, and a Marin XC FRS and old Carlton road bike still to come! 07710 704460 if you want to discuss. Rgds

Re: KHS Montana

Bargain x2..

Just picked up a Montana Comp TT AVR - great frame and I'm a Kona/Orange fan.

Had a Montana back in the '90 always felt quick handling and lively - trust my latest will be slower
