Ohhh! Dream bike!
Push-push shifters are a little odd on a Kona.

Mechs look to be DX, but shifters / STIs are LX (or below, but look like LX).Anthony":1mmzt2kh said:Although it doesn't say so anywhere on it, I believe this may well be the model called an Explosif Pro in the 1992 catalogue. I don't know how much more they cost than the standard Explosif, but they came with a custom paint job in any Imron colour you nominated (although in fact yours is the third that I've seen in that nice shade of green). The catalogue also says they came with a Suntour XC Pro groupset, but yours seems to have the Deore DX of the standard Explosif, which was an option for the Pro.
Are yours both 1990 with spatter paint? The only one I've seen similar to this is on the 1990 Explosif shown below, once owned by Hilts. I have no photo of a Track Two on a bike later than 1990 before seeing this latest one.mrkawasaki":1tsa6dz8 said:Those T2s are puzzling me... I have two pairs and neither have that soft, sculpted crown (noticeably on the back) - more of an agricultural PACE-like design. Would these here have been OEM versions for Kona (subsequently recalled)?
