I was at the Seattle Sounders soccer/football match on Sat and saw this guy riding around on a really nice Kona. I could not tell if it was a Explosif or a Hot but man it looked nice.
When I was leaving the game I saw the bike locked up and took the photo. It is, I think, a 93 Hot. Great color way and matching Mag 21 fork.
I did leave a note asking if he wanted to sell but 2 days later nothing.

Shhhh, look at the size of the seat post, he must be huge, so careful when you say such things, he may come after you.

For the record, if you're reading this sir, I think it's a very practical and attractive stem.

It is a 93 Hot, and very tastefully painted IMO.

I think the rider must be very tall, because it's quite a big bike. That's a 15cm head tube, which I thought they used for size 20 frames in 1993, although it could be a 19, I can't quite tell from the top tube.

It's funny, because he did not look any taller then me and I am 6-1 but looking at the head tube in person I thought it to be a 20".
I love that paint as well!

Very nice, I liked the frame paint colour and the matching forks, did you tell the owner about this website?

As long as you're as big as he is...

I agree, the stem is hideous!
