Must be worth a packet!

Thread 'Kona Explosif 2003 out and about'

Feb 23, 2024

This came with one of those horrible kona oe loose ball aheadsets and mechanical discs and a few other poor quality oe bits, but otherwise nice and usable.
I made up a hope headset from tatty parts in the headset spares drawer, and some shimano br-mt200s (these are such value - especially compared to what you could buy in 2004) hydros off a colleague's surly.
There was an ugly but appropriate race face isis chainset in the box (the square taper shimano item on the bike is more valuable to the shop - I mean who buys replacement isis when their isis chainset has just fallen off...

Although mines not such a Vintage year

Nah, it's the wrong side of '98


Don't forget this one is GOLD, so got to be expensive.
Also, a few year back the frame itself (97 MaxOR) was asking £250 to £300 at one point.

Looks like f&f and a pile of worn out junk...

A few years back prices were strong!

But it's true, gold has increased in value over that time period

Still worth that for frame and forks, assuming no damage to frame, check the top tube if going to look, and I'm sure you could actually get it cheaper if you tried.

Also worth noting it is the wrong fork, a P2 from either '94 or '95 so there is no guarantee they are the triple butted version which would effect their value.
