A tribute to my old 1990 Kona Explosif.

Finally decided on a build spec and looks i'm happy to stick to,for ages now i've never been quite happy with the build specs on this going from full Deore XT to XTR etc. But now i've settled on the black Deore LX M560 with a Deore MT60 chainset, XT thumbies and Dia Compe SS5 Brake levers and for me everything just works

I'll get some better pics of it in daylight hours but here's a couple of quick pics.

Looking good. What are the tyres please? Some amber wall slicks would be a good option for my Cinder Cone....

They're 1.9" Scwalbe City Jets,have a look on ebay there's normally new ones for sale for not alot of money. I love them because i hate those really skinny slicks they freak me out,i look down at the tyre and think that skinny thing will never go round a corner lol
I pump them upto the maximum 65psi and they fly along and with them having alot of sidewall they are still quite comfortable.
