Damaged 91 Explosif

Damage not too bad, I should have thought.

It's what Kona called a size 18, i.e., c-t seat tube 18.75, which makes many owners think it's a 19.

I always thought the 1991 catalogue colours were all early mock ups that they changed for the production frames, but he seems to be right that it has just faded from purple right down to lightish blue.
 
It it just needs to be chased that's a simple fix indeed. Using a Mavic bottom bracket isn't a bad option either.
 
These are sweet riding frames IMHO - not many 1991s about either....

Anyone got a colour reference for Kona purple - might get mine repainted in the original catalogue colour.

I was thinking the same, I've been after a '91 Explosif for a while but the colour is the main draw!
Is there anyone on here that can recommend someone to re-thread the BB case?
