1998 Kona Explosif Reynolds 853-new pics. of bike on page 4

glad you like how the bike turned out :D

small update - although the 8speed FD worked fine with the 9speed drive gear, I don't like the solution with the shims, so I was still looking for a matching FD - and was lucky, that I found one that quick and NOS it was too :eek: and this for very small money :cool:

Nice one, it took me longer than i thought it would to locate an m952 fd in 28.6mm for my 98 kili.
 
Stunning build - and the best thing about an 853 Kona explosif is that they ride even better than they look!
 
thats a sexy build... but........the Kona graphic being skinny Just dont look right. Love everything about it except the graphics. If think its the spacing between the lettering aswell. Just being honest :oops:
 
That's lovely and makes me want some old school Kona steel.

Looks gorgeous in white with black bits, really subtle and classy.
