Havnoonian Frame Fork...TALL
Very tall Harry Havnoonian Frame & Fork
- Seat tube is 27" CTC/28" CTT and top tube is 24.5"
- SFX bottom bracket and unmarked headset included
- Paint is decent, but has some scrapes. No dents
- Originally thought the fork might be a replacement because of the color, but now I think it is original (correct me if I am wrong). No markings on the steerer tube, but the front and rear dropouts are similar.
- Price is $125 plus shipping. Local pickup in NE Ohio available as well.

Holy Moses that's tall. The biggest frame I'll ride is a 27" center-to-top. This baby's 27" center-to-center! Top tube length matches 26" Paramounts and various 27" Schwinns. That only works if the seat tube angle is 72°. Sweet deal to whomever the 6'8" guy who can ride it buys it.

700c wheels likely look like BMX wheels on this one.

Yes, they do look small on this frame. I wish this one was smaller as I would like to try a Havnoonian. There is no way I can even attempt to get on this bike...
Should have mentioned that the rear brake mounts backwards as Havnoonian's often (always?) did.

Super cool, but just a tad (maybe an inch or 2, that's all 
) too tall for me.

Any idea on the maximum tire size it will take? It looks to be a racing frame so probably pretty narrow.
Maybe I can bring this back to Philly.

Just checked and it is pretty tight. Probably could get 28s, but not much more than that.

If I could find some Moots Mounts, I could put some tubular BNX wheels on that and make a Mini Velo

Hmmmm…. I may just be able to ride this. Know anything more about the frame? Model? Tubeset? I assume 100/130 spacing?
