That's tough. A bike as good as a zaskar, and it's almost your size too, I'd say that 19" is more M/L than L/XL. But for that kind of money, I think I'd want it in working order, the shock maintenance should be done.
Good pass.
I’m typically on the cheap side so that may explain things to some of y’all. When I say this…I’d say that price is about half bike and half charity.
This little sweety popped up on my radar nearby this morning. It had been posted for 26 minutes (around 7 AM) and already had four likes. I texted the owner and put the rack on the truck. $100 for this no-miles 2012 Africabike 3. I've never seen one before today and didn't know the story (here) but I fell in love immediately.
It's been raining a lot so I haven't ridden her yet but that was just an excuse to spend some shop time with my first Kona.

One hour later:
Basket and saddle came off first. Better seatpost and (test) Wald bars on a nicer Townie stem. Chain guard is plastic and rubs the crank arm so I dunno.
Cool bike, but you can tell the first article linked wasn't written by bike nerds...
"Built around a double cromoly steel, step-through, Kona 6061 aluminum-butted frame..."
Lolz about the rain, the bike was designed to be weatherproof. It's from the we(s)t coast
