Hi,

I've decided that I need to get back on my bike and take advantage of living in Scotland.

I've got a 22" 2006 Kona Hoss that's sat in a cupboard for nearly 2 years.

My main problem is the 22" frame feels a little too big despite me being 6'5" and 15 st.

Could anyone recommend a nice 20" hardtail for off road use. Budget up to about £500. Another kona would be ideal.

Something a bit smaller and a bit more chuckable.

On a side note if I were to sell the Hoss does anyone have an idea roughly what they go for in good condition?

(Have posted this on another forum, apologies if you frequent both)

TIA

If the bits on the Hoss are OK, why not swap the frame and forks for something with your £500?

Those two would build something really, really nice- much better than a new £500 bike.

+1 swap frame - I like Kinesis Frames myself - they are good value for money:
