G'day all, looking at purchasing a steel 29er frame in the future and thought I'd see what's out in the second hand market or for the people looking at letting theirs go.

Ideally a large Kona Honzo. Can't get one in Australia until September.

Item: 29er steel frame, tipping I'd need a large size being 6ft.
Location: Adelaide
Price range/Willing to Pay: Depends on brand and condition etc
Extra Info:

Requirments:
142x12 or BOOST 148x12 rear axle.
30.9mm seatpost minimum diameter.
Tapered 1.5/1.125" headtube
Preferably threaded bottom bracket, could settle for pressfit though.
(NO BB30)
Low standover would be great with a short seat tube to get 150mm odd dropper for max seat clearance.
Short chainstay would be preferred as it will be my first 29er.

Cheers

That bike must be developing an emotional complex by now, going from fat to skinny, now for sale. I bet it is crying in the corner wondering how it can please you. Ha ha

It has been interesting following its developments.

Hahahaha it's a love/hate relationship alright!

It's a different bike in 29er guise.... far better than 650+.

As not to feel left out:

I'm after a large 29" aluminum Honzo frame (not steel like OP but would accept a Ti frame for the price of an Al frame, in case there's any stupidly generous folk out there in the burnersphere!).

PM me so I can lowball you.

I think the two of you should conduct negotiations in public, so we can all join in the fun.
