Hi All

Considering letting my Explosif go, as it's not being used much, and it's always been pretty small for me.

Just gauging interest really - old-ish photo below - it's the same spec other than currently running a longer stem (Easton). Happy to take a bunch of photo's when I get home if anyone is interested.

Spec (off the top of my head):

- 18" Frame - Dedacciai tubing. Sliding dropouts. Disk and Rim brake compatible.
- Exotic Carbon forks - A-C 440mm (suspension corrected)
- Wheels - Rims are Mavic 719 (I think) with XT hubs.
- Tyres - Maxxis Ikon - low miles
- Running 1 x 9 - Deore cranks (hollowtech II) with a Hope 38t narrow-wide chainring (low miles). Rear mech XT. All runs very smoothly.
- Brakes - mixed bag of V-brakes - XT rear, Deore front, STC RC levers
- Bars/stem - it's running some 60mm Tioga riser bars, as essentially this bike is too small for me (part of the reason of selling it). Easton 110mm stem at present (will check this).
- No pedals at the moment (they're on another bike)

I would be looking for in the region of £350 for the full bike depending on a few things

Would definitely consider selling just the frame and (ideally) the forks together, as I can build the rest onto something else then.
