Intresting Explosif or Explusif with a dent.

Maybe i wrong but looks like 98 Colour and decals which would make Reynolds 853

But its not a 98, dropouts are wrong for 853 and no toptube cable routing

Decals and colour look correct,

It's a Columbus Max Explosif (note the very ovalised tubes) from 1995 or '96 that's had a respray, and maybe some other work done. I can't see a slot in the front of the seat tube, so maybe the tube has been replaced with a slot facing backwards. The top tube looks fillet brazed rather than welded, also suggesting a repair.

Perhaps the repair was performed in '98 with new decals from Kona and a respray.
