19" with a 36" inside leg :shock: I have a 35" sinde leg and can't go any smaller than 20.5"

It's got an ededwards look about it (arse up nose down!)

"head down and going for it" look.

Unusual - but nice! - to see chromed stays on an mtb.

No need for the question mark Carl, it is an Explosif under there. 1993, Tange Ultimate.

I think it looks good in red, especially with the Judy SL, but I'm not so keen on the chromed rear and the 1997 decals. I guess he had it painted in 97 and they were all that was available, but even so 97 was a different era and they look slightly incongruous to me.

most importantly he has a rear tyre on the front...

I do like the chrome though. Different in a good way. Likea Kona tribute to italian steel roadies.

Really like the chrome, classy touch, shame the rest of the build is a mess of colour... :roll:
(Colour is cool - but it needs to be in the right place)
