1994 Kona Explosif [converted]

Hi folks,

lacking of a proper introduction of myself and knowing that you guys seem to fancy an old Kona (well, not that old, I know) I just decided to post this very recent pic of my lovely lady. After two years of spending all I had and bugging people I got her almost where I wanted her.

Aah, and: Keep eyes from Miss Piggy there - they might burst after a while...



Specs:
frame - Kona Explosif 1994 20" - bought 2 years ago and brazed on Paul's drop outs this year after crack :roll:
forks - Kona P2 - in between resides Mr. King
stem, seat post, bottle cage - Ringlé
cranks - Cook's E cranks with Kooka, Spot and Time Attack XS
brakes - Avid Arch Supreme custom red and black anodized - same goes for levers and bits; Nokon's
cog and spacers - Boone
wheels - 96 xtr with mavics 217 and 519
answer alumilite handle bar and flite - what else...

And this is how she looked when I first saw her. Way back.



This for now - Cheers, David

Nice Kona. any chance of a few pics without the Surly.

Im liking that!

Yeah. What's wrong with that pink wonder? Got some from her first weekend after resurrection. But lots of snow on'em. Really bothers my spring feeling. But there you go.





I still have the drop outs not painted. Maybe I leave them just like that - waxed.

Maybe the Purly gets it's owbn thread around here one day...

That's better

Get those dropouts painted!

Loving the red accent

get the frame painted!
Another colour may show off the red better too

Lovely Explosif, nice colour too but get those trackends painted! I'm liking the "your bike sucks" sticker on the chainstay!

Thanks for the consent.

Thinking bout getting the drop outs painted, as I said. But I see no way of painting the whole frame - though it would be really necessary. Already talked to some painters, no perfect match of color possible. Not to speak of the decals...
Sorry, gump, but the red-green-thing's too fcuking awesome.

The sticker's made by a guy called Horst Link - ever heard of Horst Rings?
