1993 Kona Explosif

[jaydee6969]

Hi, first post, please be gentle. Found this forum by chance looking for info on older parts. This bike originally started out life as a 1993 Lava Dome, but about 1 year after buying the bike popped back into the shop (GA Cycles - Southampton) and they had a Explosif frame reduced for quick sale. So the Lava Dome components were transfered over and over the next few years various items became upgraded. But has been untouched for the last 15 years due to a change in jobs and family. A new rear tyre and pedals fitted, and now getting back into riding again. Its not to everyones taste, but I still enjoy riding it, and it rides well. In need of a good clean and polish, and a bit of de-rusting and touching up too.

Looks quality mate.

Wire brush a few bolts and you'll have it looking good as new. Cheers for sharing it.
