I have a Colombus tubed 19" Explosif frame in the gorgeous gold paint scheme in very good shape, which i'd be interested in swapping for a mid nineties equivalent frame.

Ideally an interesting steel frame, at least 19" (ideally 20") in size and no less than 22.5" actual top tube.
I'd also want a frame that has a canti boss.

E-stay frames would be great.

Would consider a Cannondale killer v frame too.

what ya got?
 
If I had a Kona and someone offered me a Scapin in exchange I'd bite their hand off. Beautiful bikes.
 
Balls! I have balls a plenty, of all different sizes... :D
How does it ride? Umm, it's very stable, due to the slack angles, yet it will carve singletrack with the best of them, can turn on a sixpence, and will manoeuvre in tight situations withought having to heft it around. Ride is a little harsh compared to an 853 Dekerf, but acceleration is better. Climbing is awesome!
It's a little shorter than my other bikes, by 3/4- 1", but it doesn't feel it.My others are all 60-61cm bar clamp centre- saddle nose, and this is 59cm with a 135mm stem and the saddle quite forward.
Frame was NOS just over a year ago, but has picked up a few minor scratches along the way.
Pop down and have a look/ride. :wink:
