93 Kona Explosif (1 of 1)

Decisions Decisions
First photos are off the other 93 Explosif and show what the Tange Decal looks like for the 93 bikes. To get a replacement i would probably have to get a full set of replacement decals because i can't find any online.
The next photo is one i've just bought and is another Tange Ultimate decal which i'm tempted to use,i believe these were on the 94 Explosif.
And lastly the Tange Prestige Concept decal which the 1990 Explosif has.

Also just noticed my old bike had a gold Tange Prestige O.S Concept gold label decal on it, i've got a feeling i put that on myself though

I wonder if GIl would do one separate instead of buying the full set.

A nice set of Deore XT thumbies arrived today which are in tip top condition i'm staying away from nos parts for the build.

(did any Kona sleuths guess what it was going to be off the USA decal on the seatube)

Just catching up on this great thread and have the answer...
My 1990 GT Team Avalanche...

How many Decals were on the downtube then on the "93" range?? Seeing your images here are making me have this sinking feeling that I might be one down then?
This is what my Cindercone ones look like.....

Nothing to panic about for your Cindercone mate that looks normal What would be a Tange Ultimate decal on the seatube on the Explosif is the Kona tubing decal on yours at the top of the seatube.
This is my 93 Cindercone for reference

Phew!...
Your post threw me into a slight panic .. frantically scanning through the 93 catalogue ha ha .
I thought "I have 3 already,I mean surely there can't be one I'm missing!?"

The fear of being a decal down on a bike that I was almost 100% certain was complete with all!

Ahhhhh.....now for a morning coffee.

Hope your day is a good one readers

Not wanting to spoil your morning coffee mate but i'm at work and one of my 93 Lavadomes is there and i noticed there's a 4th sticker on the seatube The 93 Lavadome and Cindercone used the same frame they both would've used the same Made in Taiwan decal as can be seen at the bottom of the seatube.
