Kona Explosif 1998, Pink

Merlin · Jan 28, 2012

Here is my attempt to build up a green frame for someone who likes pink

Frame - 16" Kona Explosif 853, 1998, bought on here from Explosif27

Forks - Pace Evo RC36, serviced and re-built with soft springs by justbackdated

I have used a mixture of NOS 1998 XTR 8 speed parts and modern components, Race Face, Chris King, fi'zi:k, Middleburn, Salsa to build a lightweight bike for riding

Ye need some Eddie Irvine Pace forks though...

Good suggestion but they are a bit more red than pink I think, although I have only seen Eddie Irvine Pace forks in pictures.

Looks the business with those tyres

Funny thing is; the Irvine red anodising fades to pink over time

Well, if you have any ....
I looked at the ones on ebay several times when I started this but I thought they were too pricey, they are still there.

Good job, all the colours work really well together

This Pace stem is pink, or would that be too much pink for you?

Different! As a graphic designer, I personally like the brave colour choice but think it would work even better if the frame was resprayed in a metallic pearl white which tends to have a slight green and pink 'flip' in certain lights.....but its still a cool bike either way!
