Too Much Seat post??

Re:

Kona frames were really low slung for the sizing... but a sensible top tube reach in proportion to the frame 'sizing' ie a 18" kona was meant to be for someone who typically rides an 18" ... as long the seat tube is within its safety marks it should be ok .. I'd like it to be a decent condition quality seat tube. If not I'd keep an eye out for one..

Edit.. looking at the second pic I think that'll be fine as said before as long as there is penetration ( ooo) through the frame top tube /stays joint .

Funnily enough it was the 92 explosive one I bended.

WOW! 242lbs..... that about two of me :shock: .

HM, you have seen my svelte like build (or skinny as it's also known) on the "Today's Ride" thread. Are there any pictures of you on this forum - it's just that I had a different image of you in my head for some reason :? .

Seems about right.

well, i built it up last night and took it for a spin. Its definitely a bit too small. Not comfy at all, but rides nice (if that makes sense)- changed the stem, seat-post and saddle and no better. Looks like i'll be moving it on and putting all my resources into my 19" explosif.
