1995 Kona Explosif 18"

[mfargy483]

All original spec except seat and seatpost. I need the money for school I will ship worldwide and have the bike boxed by the local bike shop. Make an offer. I have no clue what its value is... I missed the forum rule post, my apologies. If I could get 500 USD for it (plus shipping) I would be happy.

I will try to post pics or email me @ fargy483@gmail.com for pics.

Thank you!

The seller sent me the photos below, he couldn't upload because he couldn't reduce the file size.

I know nothing about the bike other than what I can see, but visibly it is indeed a 1995 size 18 Explosif, made of the classic Columbus MAX OR bi-ovalised tubing, and it appears to be all original except for the saddle and post. Not often you see the original Mr Dirt and The Cleaner tyres especially folding and still with good tread on them.

If this was in the UK I would have had it :? but with the weak pound plus postage plus import duties it all starts to get a little out of hand :?

Can't believe I don't currently own a Kona :shock: its the first year since 1993 I haven't had one
