kona alloy hard tail frames...smaller, bigger, or spot on the average?
no one heard of that niche brand, kona, then.....
I'm 6'4" and ride a 20" it's spot on.
I could probably go up a size but not down.

I would say their HTs come up at the smaller end.
I am 5'8 but with shortish legs (30in) and have just finished building my second Kona Kula 17in - why I ever sold the first I will never know. For me the 17in is toward the limit for me in terms of TT length and need to use a layback post if using riser bars. Lots of standover height.
I think they are fabulous frames. Hope my second gives me as much pleasure as the first.

Their 18"frames measure 18", their 17" frames measure 17", etc. Are you expecting Canadian inches to be smaller than English ones? 🙂
I had a 18" coiler, I am 6' with 34" inside leg and I thought it was a tad on the small side, I had the seat post all the way up.
I'm 5'10 with a 17" Colier Deeluxe. I love it.
I normally ride an 18" Spesh HT.
I'm 6'2" and ride a 20", fits like a glove. (Dawg primo)
I don't have much to compare with...
But my 18" Konas are definitely longer than an old 18" Trek.
