Hello all, thanks for clicking.
Basically I'm after your advice. I'm 5' 8" barefoot and have just bought a Kona Unit frame set in size 16 and am wondering if it will fit me? I know the standard thing to do would be to throw some wheels on and see for myself but it's a gradual process this build, and before I spend any money on the build I wanted to get some current owners opinions.
So, what do you think?
Thanks in advance. Fr0sty
I'm 5ft 7 with a 31.5 inch barefoot inside leg and ride a 16" Kona Big Unit.
I run a 410mm Thomson setback post and a 90mm Thomson stem on mine.
I run a seat height on 73cm from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the saddle (measured straight up the seat tube) and this leaves me with 120mm of post left in the frame.

5ft 11 here and ride an 18 inch one
5-9 and ride a 18" Kona which they would class as a medium! A 16" one would be a small, but suitable for 5-4 to 5-10 with different bits obviously! Get your wheels on and enjoy!
Thanks for the input guys, you've put my mind at rest 🙂
Any more pics or input anyone? Thanks again
