kona humu' sizes

[coomber]

I am on my phone so hard to check archives...

Did they only make them in one size (18"? )

In 95 they did a 16" too but not a bigger one. In 96 they added a 20" model

Re:

I thought they did 16, 18, and 20 in all years... Not sure whether all sizes were imported to the UK in all years. Raidan73 must be right, as I can't recall seeing a blue 95 in the larger 20 size.

Easy to tell the difference:
Size 20 tends to look like a gate (chainstay / toptube angle);
18 is the most common and looks nicely balanced;
on a 16, the kicker tube joins the downtube quite low, which shifts the KONA decal down the downtube until its lower end is almost obscured by the chainring... they look mental in that size (in a good way).

And I should add if you ride a 19" Kona then you can just about get away with an 18" cruiser frame. That said I'd trade my A'ha for a 20" version if one came up.
