hi,

I´ve been looking for a Kona Eplosif for quite a while, so If youre going to split I´d like to talk to you about the frame.

So, to say It in the words of the forum: dibs on frame if the bike is splitted..

Thankx mate,

Ladis

Hi Ratters

would you consider selling her, and if so would it be possible to buy her with a set of P2's and a full set of V brakes? What price for such a set up if you can do?

thanks in advance

Paulus
