I'm so glad it's been saved and now in good hands, that freewheel catalogue had so much influence as a kid. Pace RC100 the Kestral and those fillet brazed Ridgebacks. Memories which are ingrained into your brain, the RC100 was just the ultimate bike in the catalogue but the Kestral in carbon E...

Two Ku's you must have the only ones in the UK lol they both look lovely. That's some collection of lovely looking GT bikes you have there, i'm guessing your a big fan lol The anodised aqua green Zaskar is my favourite of those GT's it just looks perfect 👌 Regarding the Hot it actually looks...

Kona Hot and Hei Hei added bump

No Ku in the collection do they even exist lol i'd love a 95 Ku in the collection though. The Hot would certainly look good in that colourway but it's to close to the 95 Explosif colours for me. I wouldn't want people coming up going is that a 95 Explosif and then having to explain that it's a...

Yeah that's around the price my local powder coaters BettaBlast charge, that Explosif was £120 for the F&F's, stem and bars for that special colour,i think i'll leave the expensive bike painter to do the Vulcan when that's ready because that's a no expense spared job for that because it has to...

That's what i was starting to think and with it not being destined to be a garage queen the cost of having it done doesn't seem worth it, although Kilaueas are good it's still a Kilauea not a boutique branded bike. I'm heading towards having a dark mettalic colour with a maroony/red fleck in it...

So the idea i got came from looking at my two Explosifs and then my old 20" Kilauea to get some inspiration. Then i thought what if the powder coaters can do a fade but with a twist which is where the splatter Explosif gave me an idea. That depending on light and looking at it from different...

No forks just the frame, i'll be going with some 93 triple butted Project Two's for a 19 inch frame if i can find them,they've disappeared lol I've got earlier P2's but i want to keep it all 93 spec,the spare 93 Explosif frameset i have has them but i won't split that up,nope nope nope 😂

19 inch 1993 Kona Explosif down in Southampton with a mixed bag of parts, owner says they had a 93 Lavadome and bought the Explosif frame and swapped parts over which explains the exage and Deore parts. Usual can't do links but the number is in the second photo.

Sometimes luck is on your side and for this 93 Kilauea it's side aswell,because it's going to be brought back from the dead at the Kona sanctuary 😁 I've been hunting for ages looking for the elusive 19 inch 93 Kilauea to put back in my Kona collection after stupidly selling my old one and this...

Cool, any photos

Deore XT seatpost sorted cheers Tsundere 👍

That looks perfect 👍

Cheers for the offer winjohn but i'll have to pass on it there's to much wear on the guide where the chrome has worn off.

So tempting 🫣 🤣
