I think the Blizzard is dust. The Kona geometry is just right. All these are 18"ers.
Down to the Kila or the Explosif.
The 98 Kila is probably my favourite riding steel hardtail. Far better than any Ti frame I've had, and the earlier Tange and Nivachrome versions. Very light too. ...and its Munificent Mustard for Gruds sake!!!!!
The 99 Explosif is stiffer, and I love the colourway possibly more than the Kila.
The chosen one will be my only hardtail, as I'm shipping a few out, including my Yeti ARC.
Only one way to settle it. Kila or Explosif....FIGHT!!!!!!
