Kona explosif 1991 retromod

Retro Newbie
Hi everyone.
So I always wanted an Kona steel bike more specifically an explosif. So after restoring a 1993 cindercone Link (posted with my previous account) I searched for a 1990's Explosif frame in 19 our 20.
I got this one of ebay that I hope is a real 1991 explosif frame. So if anyone is good with serial numbers I will leave of photo of the bottom bracket.

I am not restoring it completely with period correct components. Mainly because I've done it with the cindercone before and I want to use this one as a training bike.

So I will keep you guys posted on the progress.
I am going to paint this one myself not sure of the colours yet.

So progress has been very slow. I've decided to paint it green with black letters.

Sorting out all the parts that I need. One thing has been difficult to find is a seatpost shim from 25.0 to 26.8. in my cinder cone I have one from USE but I is out of stock and cannot find a new one.
