Thinking about getting one of the Kona Dawg frames and building up a robust trail bike.

There are a few versions of the Dawg, but it looks like they all share tha same geomtery.


Confused over the frame sizes on offer though.

I'm 5 11 tall with a 32 inside leg measurement.

Can anyone recommend a frame size? I think the 19 inch would be too cumbersome, so its either the 18 or 17.
Regards

Denis

    I'm about 5 foot 7 and my dawg is a 15 frame, just about right for me!

    My mate has a 20" Caldera and it feels massive, I mean excessively so. I'm only an inch shorter than you with same leg length and I'd plump for 17 or 18...

    See if you can sit on a Kona, any will do as sizings should be too different! ;)

    Kona's do vary, best thing to do is either try one out at your local dealer or check out frame geometry through the Kona website.
