Kona Explosif £250 - Stockton on Tees - Pics to follow

[The_Grouch]

Saw this at what might be a bargain price, unless its a complete wreck, no pictures yet so can't tell!

As it's gold, it will be a 1992, and 'no suspension' tends to confirm that. I would say it could be worth £250 plus or minus, depending on condition obviously, but factor in collect only from Stockton-on-Tees and that's a significant minus, so you might well get it for £200.

Should be a bigger version of this

I didn't notice the colour actually, I was hoping it was a later model, not that I have the cash available or can be arsed to drive all the way up there

Pics up now looks big for an 18"

I think it is an 18. They measured them differently then, and they had longer head tubes (and shorter forks).

This is my Q and A """Dear ernie,

Sorry but I did guess the size, as stated on e bay I will measure it properly tomorrow and put it on the description.

Kindest regards
Paul

Poor chap might be getting confused.

I told him to measure the size from the outside of the bottom bracket shell to the top of the seat tube, which is how Kona did it back then.

But if other people tell him to measure it the way Kona did from 1993 model year onwards, he won't know who to believe.

Looks very original! Even the original saddle!
