'93 Explosif

[albash82]

Listed as 20", but I think it looks more like 19"...
Also the back to front seat tube decal is strange.

Shame it is too big

Mmm, well it is a 19" frame alright.

The seller has documented; "Tange Ultimate 20” frame from centre of chainset to top of seat tube", so they seem to have an odd tape measure

Rather more alarmingly, is that the Seat Post seems to be held up with it being wedged into the Seat Tube by its bulge in the design. That poor Seat Tube may be Fubar now!

never even noticed that, one way to make sure the post wont slip

 

[Pipmeister]

People just astonish me sometimes - particularly when it's not a novice with a low rent bike. Mind you, they can't even use a tape measure correctly!

The other view doesn't show much more detail, but still makes me cringe! Clearly never heard of a Seat Post Shim.

It's steel, would probably straighten out OK i would have thought.

Also (although I think @Pipmeister is probably right) it's always hard to tell exactly what's going on from a photo.

Could be worth a closer look and/or a haggle.

I don't have a good picture on file of a Seat Post sitting in a 1993 Explosif frame, but chose this for the bolder colours.

This is what you would preferably see with the correct sized Post in a frame:




"Could be worth a closer look and/or a haggle."

Yeah B.I.N. somewhat ambitious, but definitely worth a haggle; these are a great quality frame with the Tange Ultimate Ultrastrong Down Tube.

The words 'cobbled together' come to mind.
I thought the mismatched wheelset was odd, however that has been accurately described.

The non-matching crank arms on the other hand have not!

Good spot.

Feedback not great either.

Seller has a bit of form for mismatched parts, and omitted issues
