Explosif on STW - £75

[Jones]

Same as this one, so whats the chances of two people with the same colour frames both being wrong about them being 94 Explosifs :?

I emailed him when he listed it on singletrack world and he sent me some further pics.
The pic on ebay makes it look rather tidy.The photos I were sent showed that it needed a repaint asap,very tatty.
The owner said it was 17" from c\l of b\b to top of top tube and I thought they came in 16" ,18" frame sizes in 94.
Here are the pics he sent me so the Kona experts can see if it was an explosif.

Now sold on eBay.

I pointed out to him in two separate threads here that it is a 92 Kona with 94 decals but he didn't respond on either occasion. Also his eBay listing says the forks are Kona, which is clearly untrue.

If it is a repainted 92 Explosif, he has sold it quite cheaply, but one is bound to be suspicious of a bike like this and I wouldn't have considered it myself without getting the frame number checked.

This is a 95 Explosif, completely different dropouts, bi-ovalised (Columbus) tubes etc
