1" Fork for early 1990(?) Explosif

[eddie_spaghetti]

[EDIT - As I suspect what I'm looking for isn't going to come around in a hurry - I'm widening my net to any reasonable forks of the early 90s. Rigid or short travel sus.]

So, after hastily acquiring what I assumed was a perfect set of forks for my 16" Explosif frame, it turns out I need a 1" steerer.

So, ideally I need the following set of P2s:

Triple-butted.
1" threaded or threadless.
150mm steerer if threaded, say 200mm if not.
Black.

Will consider non triple-butted and non-black if ideal isn't out there.



Thanks,
Ed

Re:

You could have a 1990 Explosif if it needs 1" forks,i had a 91 a while back and that was 1"1/8th (purple frame/black forks) or you could get them in all black.
Is yours black with pink and blue splatter paint on it?

Re:

You could be right. It's plain black, forward facing integrated seat collar. No splatter paint though? Bit of an odd one?

Re:

Could've been resprayed,where the seatube meets the toptube has it got a cable guide welded to the left hand side,Kona ditched using that after 1990

Re:

It has got a welded noodle, but looking at this, http://si-phi.com/cycles/kona/kona_expl ... losif.html, it looks like it still has the welded noodle too? It doesn't look like it's been resprayed - and the equipment on it matches the '91 almost exactly, but its possible.

Are the tubes oval?

Re:

Seem to be down and top tube. Seat tube flares a bit above the BB.

That's what i had in that colour scheme but mine and was 1" 1/8th steerer tube,it's got me thinking now seeing that if mine still had the noodle. Think i still have a photo somewhere of it,i'll put it up if i find it.
You should put a couple of pictures up of yours it'll be easier to guess then.
