I work in Swindon.

But I already have one. Not as nice though.

Re:

You know you want it!
Fluted downtube, 231 rims, xt / xtr hubs (assuming original), xt kit...
I also like the fork and stem in black.
(I did check with the seller that there wasn't a TET on the bottom bracket!)

It has a dent though. Even so, 225 BIN is competitive.

It's not a fluted down tube on this one I don't think. It's just the way the decals were designed. The fluted one was 1994.

Did anyone else get the the tune 'Remember Me' by The Blueboy pop into their head when they saw the chain tensioner, or just me lol.

Nice bit of kit is that, if its measured to the top of the seat post then it is more likely an 18" not a 20" as the seller describes btw!

Re:

93 and 94 explosifs had the the tange ultimate ultra strong fluted down tube. You can just make out the ribs in the pic that includes the head tube. Some 94's had a superlight down tube which is unfluted but they are fairly rare.

This one isn't ribbed according to the seller.

Re:

Ah the reason it doesn't have a fluted downtube is because its a '92! I must stop looking at ebay pictures on a tiny phone screen

Re:

I didn't realise that 1993 had the same downtube, I had to check in the catalog last night!
