Re: Kona Explosif.... One foot in the grave !?
It can be cleaned, but first take a very good look inside the frame.
When it is this corroded it has been outside for a loooong time...

Re:
wish I had bid on it, a quick clean up and off you go.
All metal looking bottom bracket, just use the tools to take it off, clean and check the races are good and refit.

Re:
Strip down has begun .... thanks all for the positive vibes
removed wheels
removed rear mech
removed cranks
removed pedals ... they put up a decent scrap but i won in the end :twisted:
Next on the agenda...
remove brakes (2 x straddle bridge cables just ordered)
remove stem
remove handlebars (assess what to do paint/polish/replace?)
Remove brake/gear shifters (clean/paint as required)
Remove headset
Im guessing its just a matter of loosening this allen bolt and removing the ring ?
I wanted to avoid removing the race cups but do want to remove the rubber boot fitted over the bottom cup.
is it possible to stretch it over the bottom cup without damaging the rubber or is it cup off job ?
Bottom bracket is old school type !?? not done one of these since the old days (late 1800's )
any tips for removal/repair?.... there's slight play in it

Re:
Take the stem out, slacken the bolt in the top of the headset a long way then undo by hand. I'd bin the BB after it comes out! Can you take a shot of the un-faded colour, please? I'm try to match to a RAL colour.

Re:
yes just undo the allen bolt and unscrew the cup and lockring.
then tap the cups out. the plastic cover acts as a seal iirc.
bottom bracket, well what tools do you have.
loosen the lockring, unscrew the cup, take the axle and bearings out. take the fixed cup (one you see in the picture) out too. cheack all bearing surface, throw away if pitted.
these might help
