Wanted: KONA Explosif 1989-91

[Ladis]

Hi There - I´m looking for a Kona f/f or maybe even a whole bike from the years 89 to 91. An Explosive would be nice, but would also consider other models, pending the sizes...

Need to be somewhere around 19'' size with a 22/23'' top tube-length..

Thanks - L.

Re:

I`ve just picked up an early Explosif frame 18" c-c but I`m not sure what year it is. It`s metallic black with the rare K Mountain Bikes / US Flag decals. Pm me if you'd like pictures & details.

Re:

1989 = dreadful handling
1990 = way better than the 1990 handling
1991 = weight starts to fall, 1 1/8" headset, more common, cheaper

I've been looking for a tidy 1990 for about 3 years!

I really should do something with my 1990 Explosif.
