Interesting your frame wieght... my bare naked Kilauea (2001) was 1971.5grams. Stupidly, I forgot to wiegh it again, having it freshly powecered, decal'd, and 2k lacquered

Will look lush when you have it built up... Mine just requires the right amount of daylight/sunshine, to be able to get some decent pictures :cool:

I confidently predict this bike is going to look very smart indeed.

Look forward to seeing it.
 
Tis makin me wish I'd kept hold of the Explosif frame I had last year :( lookin very tasty, what drivetrain you going for?
 
cheers for comments :D

I'm thinking about some compact RF Turbine in either black or gunmetal grey, with black Specialities TA rings.

Any recommendation for lightweight and reliable ISIS BB ?

those tyres look monstrous, magas!

now when you say it :? guess its cause the writings on it are of such big size, but they aren't in reality - will post pics. of the tyre clearance - lots of space there ;)

next missing part arrived 960 RD with Taxx pulleys
