My Niihau:

Hi, I've been dormant on this forum for a while. I restored a Kona Explosif from 1993 and posted it here This summer (2024) I got into filming even more and got myself a drone. This video is a mashup of my interests: a) Nineties bikes b) Fiddling with a new toy, a drone from...

I picked up a rusty piece of junk last summer and ended up doing a pretty comprehensive rebuild/restomod https://hannu.blog/2024/01/26/1992-kona-fire-mountain/

Thanks for the additional info! I was mostly relying on those brochures online too.

Hi, After finishing the Kona Explosif I had an empty feeling and naturally, I got myself a Wheeler 6600 to fill the void. I finished this already back in summer 2022, but managed to blog about it now. There are 2 videos embedded too ;) https://hannu.blog/2023/02/05/1992-wheeler-6600-comp-line/...

Thanks! The original elastomers were toast. I did order replacement elastomers from the U.S. on 15th of Oct, but got fed up with the wait and bought the springs and bottom and top out rubbers from German Ebay. If the elastomers ever arrive I might try them but for now I'll go with the...

The bike is now reassembled. Here are some photos taken by the semi-frozen Baltic Sea in Helsinki. I'm planning to write a few words and include a full spec list in my blog in near future. After taking these photos I managed to acquire the original seatpost clamp and a Selle Flite that I've...

Dear all, I'm a new member who found his way here through a Finnish vintage 90s forum. Anyway, I got myself a 1993 Kona Explosif and more about it here: https://hannu.blog/2021/12/07/kona-explosif-1993-the-formative-bike/ In the spec that I got it. Possible setup for the rebuild.
