Re: 1987 Ritchey Ultra Its a beauty I have a 89 Ultra. The seat post/seat post stays are fillet brazed, by Tom, then the frame was 'tacked up" etc and a production welder would have done the tig welding to finish. Well done!

Re: Kona's Here are 2 of my current Kona's 1992 Exlosif all original including Joe Murray tires 1994 Hei hei XTR and suntour XC pro, bothare 18" frames Vancouver is abundant with Kona's and a half decent explosif can usually be had for under $200

yes they would have been, the catalog indicates the experience was a DX build, the cirrus higher end the xt build.

the experience is the time trials version of the cirrus and was made at about 1 in 10, as compared with the cirrus. yes i grew accustomed to the pink (original) fork, the cirrus would have had a syncros fork

a 1990 Blizzard all Xt and synchros with a Tange big fork, Michelin wild grippers a 1991 Rocky mtn experience, all original full Xt and synchros build, gotta love that pink fork..my daughter sure does!

ditto JimBo...I will have to get out for a visit when you are for it

Re: Rock Lobster here is my 2000 RL Team DH Reynolds 853, only 5 made, posted to show you the color, interesting gusset. It's a great XC ride

Re: Konas worth collecting I had a 95 Cinder cone, super mint with some nice gum walls, got $275...I was lucky

Re: Konas worth collecting most of the locals here in Vancouver will tell you its hard to sell a decent kona for anything except chump change. I have a Hei Hei and 2 explosifs (92/94). I would be hard-pressed to get $200 for the 94 and lucky to get $350 for the 92 despite the fact that it's in...
