Wanted: 90's mountain bike (Kona Explosif or similar). 19/20"

After a 90s rigid mountain bike. Steel, v-brakes or cantis, preferably a threadless headset.

I usually ride a 58cm road frame so I reckon a 19/20" mountain bike frame should be about right.

Thanks..

there's a few nice ones on retrobike,
not threadless though

perhaps just too small

and there is a 21" on sale on the forum but that might be too big

Thanks for the links, I'd somehow overlooked that first Kilauea in my own searches. Will investigate further.

Not a Kona but a pretty nice frame for a reasonable price http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=300249
add a set of nice Pace forks http://www.lfgss.com/thread130474.html

Kona`s tend to be long. I suggest you consider 17" as well.

That Saracen is incredible! Can't really justify the cost of building it up though for what is intended to mostly be a lockable, urban run-around.

^this one is even nicer including the rigid fork and new paint, I think it sold last night ):

I think with a bit of looking around you could get something really nice for around £200'ish built

would you consider a bonded alloy frame I have a grisley wassatch an amzing anodised bubble finish xhimano xt ritchey logic etc etc dont know how much yu are looking ot spend but this was my original mtb form the 90's dont use anymore to fat and old to pursue off road adventures

Would you consider a retro spesh rockhopper? Steel, acera groupset, stupidly light....just need to confirm frame size..

Neil's wheels in kingston have a few old steel MTB's.

Secured a Lava Dome for not too much money, so I am all set for now (though I've still got a hankering for an Explosif, should a frame pop up at a good price). Thanks all.
