    BoTM Bike of The Month August 2023 - 'Steel is Real' -taking entries

    I'll be up against a lot of nice bikes but I'll still give it a shot. @Guigui58 1989 Rocky Mountain Blizzard. No build threads as I'm quite new to this forum, but I'll be sure to make one for my next interesting build!

    Sh*t bikes with good parts

    Bought what I though was a Kona Explosif at the time for next to nothing, full deore XT build (except for the wheels, which still had nice Deore DX hubs and like new Specialized rims). After I took appart the bike, I realized that this couldn't be an Explosif : the frame weighted more than 6 lbs...

    I bought the frame and the fork only. They both are in great condition. The paint job does a good job at hiding the rougher spots!

    Big Kona fan here! I ended up keeping some of the Kona I bought to fix up and sell. 1997 Kona Ku, recently added to the registry. 1993 Explosif, built with XT/XTR 1991 Cinder Cone with a modern drivetrain (Microshift Acolyte), this one sees the trails quite often!

    My 1990 Team Avalanche! Slowly adding Deore XT parts as I find them, only missing the brake levers / rear U-brake and I'll be pretty happy. Recently built a nice set of wheels with XT hubs and Ukai UMT-17 rims (1st pic).

    Weird Kona Explosif, likely fake but maybe not?

    Thank you everyone for the replies! I also come to the conclusion that this is most likely a Hahanna / Fire Mountain. My 1991 Cinder Cone also has the "squashed" bottom, but it is the same size and the frame is lighter by 1 lbs or so. Somebody must have really wanted an Explosif and made...

    Weird Kona Explosif, likely fake but maybe not?

    Hi all, This will be a job for the Kona nerds! I just bought what I though was a Kona Explosif on Kijiji for almost nothing! I just finished to remove the parts, now only the frame remains. There are many red flags which make me believe that might not an Explosif like I originally though...

    Kona Ku Serial Number List - update 04/11/24

    Hi, I also found one in Montréal at the beginning of the summer. I restored it a few months ago, but just found out about this registry. The bike is in good condition, no cracks. There is unfortunately a dent on the top tube, but it does not worry me too much since it is not that big and that I...
