the saddles a Selle San Marco Titanio - just so damn comfy & lighter than a flite too - I figure I'll run with it.
GT-Steve ref the weight - I had a 20in one of these in '92 which I raced every week - as I'm only 5'8" it was clearly a poor decision & i remember when I bought my '93 Kona Explosif that I reckoned the Kara must have weighed twice as much. Maybe not quite but it certainly was damn heavy you are right. I'll get it on the scales & post a figure in due course. But I just love the colour & still think the triple triangle looks cool!
yeah i guess the tubesets would have changed over the years - along with wider use of butting and suspension geometry / groove tube mods etc. I just weighed it & it's 27lb - not as bad as I'd thought actually. I also just weighed my 93 Explosif - it's 21.8lb which is more than I'd thought. I'm clearly just an appalling judge of weight!
