Just a make-weight. No build thread, I focus on riding when I am physically able. My 1996 (?) Fire Mountain, alone and (it amuses me) with the massed ranks of carbon roadies at upmarket cafe. And yes I did - and do - the 40-45 mile round trip to such places on it.

Oldaves' 1996 Kona Fire Mountain.

I imagine it will be something like a Hei Hei that wins, but my vote will almost certainly be for one of those two beautiful early Explosifs.

Great idea to have this special theme this month.

Saves any comment from me!

As a fairly recent newcomer to this fine forum I didn't get to know this chap.....but it's touching seeing all your excitement and eagerness in this competition...is nice

shows a lot of respect!

Oldave's Fire Mountain isn't make-weight. It's what it's a about. Good old bikes getting used.

Nigel's Hot thread can be found here:

94 Kona HOT 18"

I figure it's time to start posting some of my builds. Starting with the most recent, since it has me the most excited at the moment- Plus I need an opinion on the fork- I was lucky enough to pick up this 94 Kona HOT local to me a few days ago. It came as a complete with a mix of parts- some...

A brilliant tribute to Pip with this Kona bike of the month so i've got to enter my 93 Explosif, my holy grail Kona.
As most people may know i'm useless at doing build links but it's under its gonna get Explosif in the build page section.

Spanky's build thread:

It's gonna get Explosif

While my Kona mojo is back i think i'll get cracking with these two special Konas one will be a bit easier to do than the other because the 92 has some issues which need fixing but once fixed should be 👌

The thread linking process is quite simple. Just go to the thread to be linked, put your cursor in the address bar and select and copy all. Then go to the thread where you want the link to appear paste the copied text in a new message.
