Hi, bought this frame in error as its too big for me at 18 inches.Now have the correct 16 inch Explosif, so this needs to go. What you see is what you get, i do have the rest of the headset somewhere and will try to put it together for the buyer. Id love someone to collect from Edmonton, North...

also had some a little chainsuck which was a blast from the past, how do you cure that again!

Panaracer Trailrakers- won't let u down

wait a minute Disco! Word of caution, took the bike out in deepest Epping Forest mud Sunday and when i cleared a mass of mud from the rear brakes on the left a 1cm width of paint was removed from the seatstay :( , basically don't expect too much from a diy compared to factory job...

im in agreement with bar,stem and seatpost comments; they are roadish and was'nt impressed initially but they grew on me. It would have been better to have less or no branding on the finishing kit ,as it does ditract from the paint job really. I was going for the co-ordinated Race Face kit type...

16 inch 1991 Kona Explosif resprayed by me.

handles well so far. the forks are sid sl i bought new around 2002 which are set to 80mm, need replacing tho the air chambers are leaking.

G] taking it off-road tomorrow and will add a decent fat-tyre pic to the Kona's page. Must say it rides a bit more smoothly and not as harsh as all the aluminium rigs i've had. It does'nt accelerate like aluminium but you don't feel you're losing power through flex either. i've ridden a 1990...

Now building with a vengeance,got some wheels from Rojo,new and old bits from the bay and scavenging from my other bike and raiding the spares box. Last lot of pictures till im finished now!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. i used all the standard off the shelf nozzles . just gotta have some idea of what ur doing and go for it.I actually did look into diy spray painting tips on the net for a month before i started. I haven't followed all techniques like sanding between...

yeah, messed up the siize on photo bucket. :oops: fixed now!

Bought this 16 inch 91 frame on impulse this summer off ebay for £90.Was lookin for the ribbed 93 Kona but no luck. Lost the pics of it in the original blue colour which had started to fade purple or vice-a-versa. Anyways, it was pretty tatty to look at but the frame was in good condition with...

done a nice deal with this fella, had plenty of communication regarding item delivery and would deal with again! and again! and again!.......

now sold to me :D

you have a pm

i'll have

Yep, Got this good condition Kilauea from ebay but a quick build suggest it aint spot on for me. Havin a real prob gettin the size and vintage i like. Measurement from centre of bb to top of seat tube is 18" with top tube 22" cto c i do have a 1991 explosif which measures 17" centre to top...

Hey, i know its a bit cheeky, but if ur in London could u let me straddle the bike. U could hold my car keys!!! :D

yeah thats right!! :cry: but i've never ridden anything size 18"or maybe i should be on a 16". Oh... the humiliation. Many moons ago i had a yellow splatter Kona lava Dome which i believed to be a 14" and never got used to the cramped positioning and duly sold it on to a girl who i thought was...

Yes i know its fuzzy logic;but honestly!! ur riding that bike at wot i would call the perfect or near aesthetically perfect height for Konas.i bet you couldn't rise the saddle anymore than a inch without badly tittering vertically on your big toe if at all!! im gonna put my years of riding...
