I had another glance over the bike last night and I am not convinced that the height of the stem is the issue to be honest. Compared to my other bikes, the Explosif riding position measures pretty similar, and the bar height isn't drastically lower than the saddle height, no more so than my...

Lovely turnaround, and holy moly £25 was good value!

I think this could work.

Cheers. Recently added the brooks cambium which, helpfully, has plenty of scope for moving forwards/backwards. For the ride last night I moved it forward 5mm but there is loads of room to go backwards to give me more reach.

Cheers, will have a look. When I put the bike together I was keen to use the right parts, and make it look half nice. But I've changed my mind now and just want to make it purely functional. Other than the minor issue with wrist pain, it's a comfy ride and handles fine for me. Plus I wanted a...

Photo of the bike.

My Explosif is not quite as comfy as I would like it to be. It's too small, so already runs 60mm riser bars, with a 90mm thomson stem (15 degree rise I think). I have got it close to a nice fit, the reach is fine, but I'm just getting a little wrist pain. No scope to move the stem up as the...

Weather, illness and family time has halted any exotic rides to distant places recently. But I'm trying to get a couple of local miles in of an evening, just to keep the legs free and my sanity intact.

Seat and bagman worth well over the asking price!

There is a also a Bob Ibex for more "off-road" duties (its got suspension). And I think Topeak do a similar single wheeler. But the original Bob Yak is the one I'd be going for.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Anyone go for it in here? I messaged the seller today asking him what size it measures at. He says 19" and someone is already arranging a courier for it. If it falls through I might have to go and get it. Great tubeset, groupset, right size (ish), mint condition, I even like the colour and the...

This is why N+1 will never stop. Find another in that condition! (then you buy it, and another comes out of the woodwork a year later)

What size is it? 17ish? Very nice condition.

Good to know, cheers! Here's a better pic.

Quite a few options depending on budget and material preference. These look quite nice. https://www.velozone.co.uk/products/identiti-xc-rigid-445-mm-steel-forks-black?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9f2_5ZaQgAMVHIFQBh30KguVEAQYByABEgIfwvD_BwE

You can get late project IIs which will work, they will need to be 425 or 445mm axle-crown. I've got a set on an earlier Lava Dome and they are fantastic, provision for disk AND canti mounts, and very comfy. My 2008 explosif is running some carbon forks from Exotic Carbon. 445mm. I'm still...
