Looking at all the konas in your sig.... You must have a fair knowledge ;-)
 
Ok... here goes ..

1991 Kona Cindercone with factory project two forks.

Ive searched loads of post for definitive answers but im more confused than ever now.... so many conflicting opinions on sizes :LOL:
i need sizes for

head set, ive established its 1 and 1/8 but what size is the head tube internal diameter for cups?
bottom bracket... where to start ?
seat post .... so many different opinions on diameter :?
gadget clamp thingy for rear brake cable... whats it actually called and where to get one from ?
Frame diameter (at seat post tube) for correct front mech fitment


any help gratefully received.
 
Re:

A lot of frame information is in the forum over the last 10 years, plenty in the archive too.
A few extra websites if you need them and then generally just asking.
 
Re:

Headset is standard Oversized as it was called aka 1-1/8" frame. Internal diameter does not matter, it is whatever the 1-1/8" size spec is.

30.0 seatclamp bands
26.8 front mech
68 shell

This is standard for most all retro konas (steel)

Size for a 1992 is from top of the bottom bracket shell to the top of the seattube, to the nearest inch.
But it doesn't really matter other than to take about it and get the other specs easily.

Seatpost is often 27.0 as per normal kona but it can vary .2 either way, so testsome out.

There is a frame info tech document in the archive&gallery and the catalogue too.
They are mostly correct.
 
Re:

Ah 1991, basically the same but seatpost should to look at are 26.4 from memory, but check why others used in the readers bikes if nobody else who has one comments.
 
Re:

The canti guide clamp is called a dog collar, (konas name for it) you put a shared add up, search the for sales and check eBay for one.
Or hope somebody reading this has one.
