1999 Kona Lava Dome 18”

Posted on
  • Time to move this frame on - no dents but the paintwork is fairly fucked.

    I’m 6 foot and have ridden this for a couple of years without issue - think it’s an 18/19” frame but can check.

    £60 plus post or collect from Bristol. Can also include the race face orange cranks and a bottom bracket for a further £35.

    Will upload better photos on request.

  • Nice cranks ;)

  • They have served me well! Building this bike into a bit more of an offroad tourer so looking for a stiffer set that are non-square taper. Hopefully they stay with the frame as they suit it well.

  • Nice build, glws.

  • 19” frame

  • You are correct as I have now measured although I am unsure how you eye-balled that? The 1999 catalogue lists them making both a 18 inch and 19 inch that year.

  • Spent too long staring at vintage konas. HT length is a giveaway:)

  • Kind of funny given the above, the frame I bought to replace this is an 18” not a 19” like I thought.

    I will now keep the lava dome until I find another explosif/unit with sliding dropouts in a 19” size. Such a shame!
