Re: '88 Cindercone, '89 Explosive TBG Kona's

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: absolutley stuuning bikes....really really always wanted one, i could be wrong with this but, your bike was a handbuilt frame from bristol....and became truly legendary.......but the difference was a handbuilt frame of this type back then was big big bucks, i remember because back then i was 14 and looked into it, ( the whole culture became an obseesion with our gang of racers....shout out to maverick edgey etc,,,)), especailly after seeing them at the malverns, saltrum, blandford forum race events, a similar time to when lenord zinn handbuilt his frames too, and showcased them around the race circuit, the point im trying to make i think, was a cinder cone complete, was the same money as a handbuilt very good quality frame like this......one produced for the humble masses and one was for the middle classes..lol..........you have a real piece of great british mountain biking hitory there........i salute you.....i think in that geometry, it was a late 87/88 model too, but you probably know this....... keep it nice and watch the value increase i rekon...

I'm strictly tongue in cheek - these early TBG Konas are the only ones I like BTW. keep them coming!

Re: '88 Cindercone, '89 Explosive TBG Kona's

i did worry that sum rb site users have taken my comments about murray/brodie, kona etc personnally

You worry far too much matey

Since my first MTB was a Kona ('93 cinder Cone), I do have a soft spot for them.. but, if I ever get another (Kona), it's going to have to be one of these earlier ones. . . .

Green Explosif or white Cinder Cone . . . both are smoking my kipper big style
