My very first mountain bike was a yellow splatter Lava Dome 
Bought with encouragement from a mate when I was at University.
Here it is, in the Lake District; a few years ago :shock:
Sold it to a mate (who modded it for his mrs!) when I bought my KHS Montanna Team. He wouldn't sell it back to me
But spotted a frame on ebay and had to have it
Now got it built up as a replacement for my '98 Explosif "run-a-bout" which is sold.
I had most parts, had to source a few things due to different sizes, cable routing etc. The 1" ahead forks being the most difficult to souce, so not strictly original
I'm pleased with how it looks. A few pics....
