1995 Kona Explosif

Even without a repaint (which in my view it doesn't need), a bike of this calibre deserves a much nicer chainset.
Yes, I’ve put it on and I’ve realised I don’t like the shapes at the spider. Was never really going to stay but I really want to ride it! Still like the idea of a Raceface Turbine
 
I think these would suit it down to the ground 👌

Not sure why but the layback on the Controltech seatpost played on my mind, think it’s due to the original being inline.
So an inline thompson post arrived and immediately installed. Also allows the cuffs to match the collars when I get the thompson stem as well.

Think it looks better…but maybe exactly the same 😂
