Kona Frame Sizes
Firstly, let me apologize for yet another thread about frame sizes, but I really would like to get some opinions.
I've just ordered a 16" Kona Explosif frame from a mail order company. I'm 5'7" and slight of build. The Gary Fisher frame I've been riding for 6 years is a 17" (pos 17.5) and is close in terms of standover height, yet has been a great ride nonetheless. Kona don't do a 17" Expolsif and I kinda feel the 18" would be too big. The kona website quotes the 16" as being suitable for heights 5' - 5'7" while the 18" for 5'7" to 6'. What do people think, have I ordered the right frame or will I need to send it back and get an 18". Many thanks in advance, and sorry for posting yet another thread about frame sizes. |

my wife rides a 16" Cindercone and is 5'7". I ride an 18" Dawg at 6'2" but I have to use a longer seatpost.
the 16 should be about right for you. |
Cheers for your advice on this one guys, I feel better now.
