Re: Rare KONA SCORE titanium frame £725 POSTED
I have to admit that I don't think I could justify spending such a large amount on a frame, but could you give some details please? I'd be interested in its weight, the top tube length (c-c along the tube) and the head tube length. Also did you build it up far enough to measure the head angle with a given fork?
[I know Kona said it had a 71 degree head angle, but that's completely meaningless.]

Re: Rare KONA SCORE titanium frame £725 POSTED
Hi Anthony,
The frame (with headset cups) weighs 1706g on my digital kitchen scales, actual top tube is c-c is 540mm and head tube is 120mm. I couldn't tell you the head angle I'm afraid as it hasn't been anything but a bare frame since I've had it.

Ah, that's where I'm so different to everybody on here! If it was mine, I'd have had a fork on there to mock up the geometry in the first half hour, especially as you've already got the cups in place. I can't help being analytical you see.
Oh well.
The weight is slightly lower than the spec sheet claims (allowing c50g for the cups), which is unusual for Kona. It must only be c100g heavier than the same size King Kahuna, which makes it out to be more of a hardnut xc bike, rather than a rough bruiser like the Chute.
