I have a 1994 (I think) Scepter Comp, which I've built up with a rigid fork and a bunch of my favourite (period incorrect) parts, it's super light and fun to ride, and everyone loves the way it looks. I paid a little less than £100 but it was super rough when I got it (it did have Mavic SUP 117...

You've lost me there.

Re: Re: Cool!, PM me what you want for it, or stuff you're looking for. Just have to find crankset and 1 pair of cantilevers.

Thanks Frank, I'm pretty excited, not to mention feeling very lucky. Hope I can do the bike justice. Have to piece together an M730 group now, have shifters, levers, wheels and rear der. thus far.

Just had a little chat with Paul Brodie on Facebook, he was as I remembered, friendly and helpful. I ascertained this: No Explosif frame was ever made in Canada during his involvement with TBG, the custom frame options mentioned in the catlog were likely minor additions to asian-made frames...

I actually kind of like that, and I love Avocet computers. This set up might have protected my Avocet 30 that was destroyed in 1993 in a head on collision with another cyclist (head down, in a hurry, didn't see me), that computer had my top speed of 52.X mph stored on it (A259 west down into the...

Don't worry, after staring at the pictures a lot I've grown to appreciate the paint, I will remove the rust gently and attempt to touch up the rest convincingly. Might still do new decals though. I do feel lucky to have stumbled across such an uncommon Kona, and I will continue to try and find...

Re: Re: :lol: That same question had crossed my mind. I answered myself this way: Kona's were not asian-made Brodie clones. They had their own character and key features differed from the Brodie branded bikes, what I've noticed particularly are the rear brake cable noodle (much nicer on the...

I'd like the M735 rear mech, if you'll ship to Canada, and shipping is not prohibitive.

I hear that. I just want to make sure that the corrosion doesn't get any worse. I'd also like to re-decal, not sure if anyone has done new decals for an '89, I know Spanky got repros for his '88 green Explosif. I wrote the guy I bought it from and he had no other information for me, bike was...

Re: Re: The seller suggested that Art Tyler / Art Dept. were one and the same. He didn't provide any more information about the history of the bike. Your employee bike theory seems reasonable, I honestly think the paint scheme is kind of ugly, I mean why black/white on the frame and silver...

I've wanted an Explosif since a short while after I declined to trade my '93 Stumpjumper for a '92 Pro back in 1994. Bizarrely I've never managed to find one for sale in the size I want (19") and the year I want (1991 or 1992), but I've continued to search from time to time, I even owned a 2004...

Re: If it's like this one and a 19" I'd def. be interested in what you'd want for the frame/fork.

Well, apparently the going rate is £50. :wink: Some pics would be nice, ad is down.

Please, sell it to the guy on the right side of the Atlantic! There must be a decent 19" Kilauea/Explosif frame for sle somewhere in North America, I'm obvously just not loking hard enough. Thanks for taking the time to check shipping though.

DHL?

It's ridiculous that I'm asking this, but how much, shipped to Ontario, Canada? And I will fully understand, and breathe a small sigh of relief if yu say no.

Re: Don't know for sure, but I would guess it was the base model, there was no LX group in 1989, and the Stumpjumper being the flagship model, they wouldn't have dropped to an Exage build kit. There might have been a Suntour equipped model too. I think the steel S-Works bikes had M900 XTR...

My 1992 was the pink colour (the Comp model - DX equipped), I have just one picture of it from back in the day:

Re: I think you might have a late 1993 bike, a running change mid-season on the paint maybe, because I never saw another that colour. 1993 was the last year of the 1" threaded fork on the base Stumpy, 1994 the frame had a 1-1/8" headtube with a threadless setup. M560 LX was only specced on...
