kona frame size

doublem_1

Looking at buying a kona hard tail frame. Its 17-18 inches. I'm 5'3'' and I'm hoping I will be able to fit the bile once its built. Would this fit OK?

Sounds way too big.

I have a 50cm road bike that fits me perfectly. And that's 19.5 inches. Don't really understand MTB frames.

Road and MTB frames are like chalk and cheese. Try the bike out if you can.

Frame sizes can vary even within manufacturers but for what it's worth I'm 5 10 and have a 17 inch Kona.

you need to try them as they vary a lot, but as a starting point I'd guess you should be looking at circa 14-15"?

I'm 5'9'' and would go for a 16'' or 17'' Kona. You would need a smaller frame than me. Forget road bike sizing (I'd be a 54cm that said).
