The 1998 Kona Explosif Restomod Project

All built. It's very Christmasy looking. What a machine, It rides lovely. Slightly less vibration compared to the Caldera id say (tyre pressures are the same). I did a 41 mile ride on it yesterday and loved every minute of it even with my lack of go after all the christmas lard. A fairly good overall weight in the end hopefully future tweeks will lower it a bit more.

Polished the RaceFace chainset back up before i fitted it and gave it some wax allong with a fresh new chain. DSC_1111.JPG DSC_1122.JPG DSC_1128.JPG DSC_1132.JPG DSC_1137[1].JPG DSC_1140[1].JPG DSC_1139[1].JPG
 
Apologies for hijacking your thread but you inspired me to not only do longer rides on 700c wheels! On my Cindercone couple of weeks ago...

Many rides have past on the Explosif now and im having a great time, what a frame so good to ride. Its just a shame I'm not really getting the best out of it with the road riding i do. Anyway here's some pics of the rides with it in. Fitted some bar ends on it now huge difference a massive game changer especially on road.

Cheers
