Cool if its a true story

Well here's Peaty jumping next to trees on his Explosif, the cantilever brakes are the same.
The bike looks a bit small for him though, i'd have thought he would be on a 20 inch frame.

Any idea what size the frame is - looks pretty big to me?

Hi All, just to let you know, I'm the one selling the bike
I used to live in Chapeltown near Sheffield, the same place Steve grew up, although he wasn't a friend of mine (I'm older than him) he was good mates with friends of mine. After Steve, I'm told it was owned by Andy Manterfield, and then Harvey Corton - Who I bought it off sometime in the late 90's .... I think both of those guys also had other bikes previously owned by Steve, but i ended up with the early silver Kona. I think Harvey has a picture of Steve riding it in a "how to ride a mountain bike" from the late 80's.
Not sure what size frame it is.....how do I size it?
Anyone has any other questions I'm happy to answer them.....as i said in the auction, it needs some TLC.

Welcome to the forum, Birdie101. Do you have any evidence it was owned by Steve?

I could probably get someone to get in touch with him, I'm still friends with Andy Manterfield & Harvey. What sort of thing do you think someone will need?

It would be good for the auction if Peaty could confirm it that would be brilliant,then there would be no doubts and i will sell one of my kidneys
How to size them go centre of bottom bracket to the top of the seatube on the 93 bikes
