got some good stuff on it - the decals look a bit odd, maybe it's a later one that has been resprayed? looks like max tubing by the bb

It's got an integrated seat clamp so it would be a '91 or maybe '92 Pro vintage. Definitely resprayed and re-decaled. The Explosif for those years would be Prestige tubed so you would expect to see a seat tube bulge at the BB, it's hard to tell from the pictures if this has one. But it does have some interesting parts.

I was down in Edinburgh today and thought about going to have a closer look.
From the photos it's hard to tell what's under the paint, but in the end, the leather carry strap stopped me

Some nice bits on that, be interested to see if the forks are knackered or just need a clean.

Looks like a 91 Explosif you can see the bottom bracket bulge for the Tange Prestige Concept tubing, forward facing seatclamp. It's probably using a 1"1/8th headset but if it's a 1" one then it would be a 90 Explosif.
If anyone buys it just for the parts i'd buy the frame because i need a 90 or 91 Explosif for the Kona Explosif collection.
