rear dropout width on kona humuhumunukunukuapua'a

looking to see what the dropout width on a kona humuhumunukunukuapua'a 1995-2000ish model is without being pulled apart to fit something it shouldn't. i have seen some threads but they only say that they squeezed in ***. i'd like to know the standard size

i'm currently looking for my 1st humu so i'd just like to get an idea what hubs i can use as i'm not sure if i want a single gear or multi gear rear hub. i defo want a rear coaster though.

cheers
 
Probably around 120 mm.
Hubgear widths vary, as did Humus.

They did an alu version for a few years; those one cannot be re-spaced.
But most were steel and the rear spacing can be stretched a few mm to accommodate an old-school (meaning narrow axle width) hubgear. The OLN spacing on SRAM / Sachs / Sturmey hubs can vary, but a steel frame with "ballpark" spacing can be opened / closed by a few mm without any harm.

1995 Humu: 120 mm (track / BMX standard).
1997 Aha: 110 or 112 mm (older track standard).
Both of those had the standard 42 mm chainline.

2005 Humu Deluxe: 135mm MTB width with disk brakes. That would fit a modern hubgear like an Alfine or Rohloff.

thanks for that info

i'm guessing it's a steel frame as i'm not after a newish one.

i get impatient waiting for a bike to pop up, i have a wtb but it doesn't stop me thinking what hubs i can use.

i like the bike to have no brake/gear cables as they look so clean like that. this means a coaster rear brake. but i do fancy an internal gear hub for longer rides, this would mean having a cable running to the rear which i don't like.

obviuosly once i get a bike or frame set i can take measurements.
