Sounds a little chopped about, could be an interesting one for some one.

Gorgeous looking frame-

Chopped BB and dents might mean it stays cheap....

If Argos did the work, it will be fine. The silly name would put me off more, but at least it doesn't (dare) state its name.

If it was a 95-97 Kona Explosif made with the same tubeset, it would raise 200-250 with the RC30 and Syncros stem. As it's made by Dave Yates, logic would suggest at least 50% more?

But logic doesn't always prevail.....

Interesting too that he recommends against fitting suspension forks yet this is a 1995 frame, I guess he must have specified that it would be for rigid setup only. Also despite the BB work being done by Argos it still begs the questions of a) why? and b) why not take off an equal amount on both sides?

probably to fit a specific chainset ?
