Can anyone tell me or tell me where to find the dimensions for discontinued Kona frames?

In particular, I'm after the head tube length of a 2004 Kikapu Deluxe. A strange one you might think, but will be fitting a set of forks to a mates GT Avalanche 2.0 but he will want to move them onto this Kona at a later date so want to avoid cutting the steerer too short.

    kona have some dimensions on there site, but head tube lengths vary on frame size so I would wait and measure it the other frame before doing any cutting.

    have a look on there, if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can select the year of the bike and it has some info.

    it doesn't list the geometry for bike pre 2006 though, but the Kikapu Deluxe is listed under 2007 as well so you can see the geometry including headtube size. no idea whether it was the same in 04 as it was in 07 though.

    but as nicklouse says, wait til you've got the frame before you cut. or dont cut it, space it out until its on the kona
