Looks a great bike. I bet its a blast to ride!
Explosif
Sure is. She's back on original Z2 BAMs, after a couple of years on Rock Shox REBAs. Feels better if anything. Disk up front makes a big difference.
Very fast, very directional.
Had her from new, and always been my favourite bike. I love the geometry of the race Kona frames. I've had Kilas and Explosifs since mid 90s. Just refurbing '97 Kila too.

Hey, that's a tip find I'll have you know. It's got industrial grade tubing. I reckon they tried crushing it at the tip, and couldn't. Weighs a tonne.
I've been looking at a Giant XTC Junior for him, which I reckon he'll get 4 years out of.
Obviously his attitude looks 8/9, but he's only 6.
