Re: Kona Explosif '91

Whats going on with the seat angle?

Sciatica mainly. If I had a spoke for everytime that's been asked...

Very nice - is that the one that used to be on the wall in the Bike Station?

It built nicely. It's done for now. No, the one on the wall is/was a '92, same size I think.

Re: Re:

Nice How’d you do the v-brake at the rear without a cable stop?

Yeah, like Mark said...

Outer full length. Three wee cable ties for now. It sits nae bad.

I've just been on your '91 rebuild. Gloss powder and decals look ace.

I can't bring myself to paint this one despite the rough patina. If and when the bridge falls out I'll paint it then after it's been replaced.

How you enjoying the ride? I'm impressed TBH.

It is!

My fastest and most satisfying build to date, now out on loan to a friend.
