I run a set on my '97 Hot and would say they are "adequate" for my application : paved shoulders , gravel roads & bike paths. a little skinny for any serious off road riding, imo. if you're looking to sell them , shoot me some pics and just might shoot you an offer...;)

I've got a lonely sun hoop kicking around here someplace....will try to track it down this afternoon.

hey gang, been a while! looking for a red 1 1/8 threadless top cup to most likely purchase, unless you're into swapping for a very faded one which is now basically pink, lol.

awesome, ty...:)

can a guy use a front chainring designed for 9 speed w/an 8 speed rear cassette? am assuming it should work, just wondering if it will affect performance somehow?

idk what you mean by that…??? I sent a request to join the group, but am still waiting for admission - I am very curious about this bike…

is that one on FB for sale, Al? *salivating*

and yeah, there’s absolutely no shame in hanging it up - nothing wrong with enjoying beauty, for beauty’s sake…😉

well, whatever you end up doing to it…WATCH THE PAINT!!!

and here's the latest, and probably last acquisition to the stable : unless I come across a 2018 in my size, that is...;) - OR, if Kona decides to make another Explosif at some point...*fingers crossed*. that being said, if anyone has a small/med. 2018 they're looking to part with, let me know...

as promised :

just got 3 parcels in the post today & 2 of them contain bike goodies…expect some new, high quality bike porn shortly - stay tuned!

found a brand new one overseas in Denmark, of all places. shipping is more than the lip lock itself, but what are you going to do, right?

there's a gold one on eBay atm for cheap, but it's 35mm...:(

hey all, looking for a vintage Salsa lip lock in red, gold or green w/logo in the 30mmish range. hopefully, somebody on here's got one for llama...👃
