Been having a potter about with the bikes today and i had one of those "what if" 
moments
Purists look away lol
So i picked up the Kilauea from the powder coaters and i noticed that colour, perfect i thought for the 88 Pine Mountain it's basically as close to a match to the original paint as you'd get.
Then an idea came into my head,Joe Murray was involved with Marin then Kona,there's always been this debate when we're the first Konas was it 88 or 89.
So why not make my very own 1988 Kona Explosif how i think Joe Murray would've done it in 88 using the Pine Mountain frame as a starter.
Firstly i think the frame would've been the same as the Pine Mountain, lugged Tange Prestige but he'd have used Project Two's because he must have been designing them then because they were on the 89 Konas.
Paintwise the frame and forks would be all one colour in that pearl lavender but the decals would be like the 89 ones and of course it would've been splatter paint.
What you think! Crazy idea and a waste of a 88 Pine Mountain frame or one lovely looking one off Kona Explosif
