Nice frames these. Is that an 18" do you think?

Judging from the head tube it's bigger than my 18" '97 model.

More 19” looking at the size of the head tube. Photo of my 18” ‘98 for reference.

If its still for sale 20 weeks after being listed chances are it is overpriced!

Indeed, just went back and looked at what mine cost me, even taking account I picked mine up in 2016, I’m not sure it’s more than doubled in value.

I'm clearly in a minority! A 631 framed complete bike for 3 ton is a good price all day long IMO. Wish I could find anything similar at similar money.

That's remarkably kind Rob, but pretty sure it IS too big for me.
I've been viewing completed listings on ebay and it does seem that there is no market for old Konas. A few I would have bought at prices no one else would if there had been postage, but then I like Konas!
Something bound to turn up locally sometime....

I haven't had a Kona but the ones I've ridden have been fast and responsive.
