Had to wait in today so started building the Explosif up.
As usual i ran into a few problems. The post i was going to use was the wrong size, for some reason i had 26.8 in my head
so had to use another which is a bit shorter than i am happy with but is ok for now :roll:
The stem handlebar clamp bolts ended up being too short, if i really tried i could get them to catch but they would only be on a single thread, not good, so in need of some longer ones.
For some reason, despite having quite a few BB's, i could not find any crank bolts :roll: probably somewhere safe..
Still need to cable the bike up and fit a chain, oh, and find the other crank cap which just magically dissapeared.
A few pics, sorry for the poor light as it was raining outside so had to use the kitchen/studio

Cheers guys
I had to go and look the wheelset is XT on Araya, just put on to stand it up, have got some silver rimmed XT's i was planning on using but not at hand. The more i look at it though the more i think the dark rims suit it
And you definatlly need to build that beautiful Explosif you have up Adrian
