I apologize for my first post being a "for sale"
I see the majority of the members are from the UK/abroad, but in the slight chance there are North America members too I'm posting this here.
I'm cleaning house to make room for a new cyclocross bike...
I have a Kona Explosif (I don't exactly recall the year).
Photos at: ...apparently I cannot post a link to flickr (I do not have enough posts). If you are interested I can email or PM the link to you.
The story behind it is that it was a remnant from the year that Columbus provided the sponsorship of the Kona Pro Team. This is one of the Explosif they painted up. If anyone recalls, there was a fair amount of controversy that year because the Pro Team refused to ride steel so Kona also painted their Hei Hei the same way and added the Columbus sticker. Columbus eventually discovered this and the Hei Hei's were removed from service and the team was forced to ride the Explosif (steel).
In the photo the bike has a Marzocchi Z2 Bomber on it. Since I replaced this with the Kona P2 to go totally rigid. I still have the shock too so this would be included.
Here's the problem...I have no idea what it's worth. I'm thinking this frame would be a great SS. I currently use it as a road trainer with slicks.
I'm thinking it's probably worth $500.00-$600.00
Any way if there is any interest or if you want to correct my valuation please feel free...
Thanks.
BTW, I also have a 1989 Cannondale SR700 (almost completely original) it's a 54CM made February, 06, 1989 (ser # 54020689009) That I am also looking to sell (will post this in the road bike forum)
