UPDATE: Now on eBay...if you want her I will go to £700 but reluctant to go any lower
I am very reluctantly selling my SUPERB example of a 1999 853 Kona Explosif. I imported the frame a couple of years ago and built it up with brand new 2x10 SLX - new hand built wheels, Exotic carbon forks and seatpost and Ritchey WRC finishing kit. This bike has literally been ridden a hanfull of times since then so I have decided to sell it to someone who will use it more. You really won't find a better example of this frame - the previous owner went to great lengths to protect the frame and you can see from the photos that it is in fantastic condition.
Here is the full list of parts:
Frame: 20" 853 steel frame in SUPERB condition with only very minor chainsuck (you won't find a better example)
Forks: Exotic carbon - suspension correct for the frame
Seatpost: Exotic carbon
Saddle: Madison Flux
Wheels: Hand built Mavic 717 black rims with black spokes - XT hubs
Groupset: Shimano SLX 2x10
Tyres: Schwalbe Nobby Nic DD
Bars: Ritchey WCS tripple butted
Bar ends: Ritchey WCS
Stem: Sunline XC-one
Grips: Race face
Headset: Race Face Deus EX with carbon spacers
Pedals: Shimano XTR
The entire build cost me well over £1000 but I am willing to sell it to a good home for £800
PM me if you are genuinely interested.
