FS: 1997 Kona Explosif - SOLD

[Little Bob]

Thinning the herd as not had chance to ride much for ages, posted to gauge interest.

This is a 1997 Kona Explosif, 18" Columbus Max, complete bike.

Pretty much all original except:
Blue/grey Middleburn chainrings
Use suspension seat post
Strange gel saddle
Even the tyres are the originals
ODI grips added since photo, and bar ends removed (although can be included if desired

There are a couple of small patches where the paint needed touching up and I did this properly with primer, these still need a topcoat (Humbrol do a close match I've just read on the forum). To be picky there is a tiny dent on the top tube probably due to bars swinging around.
Beautiful looking machine.

Having dug the Explosif out of the garage I forgot to mention that it has a brand new Ritchey WCS needle roller headset and has anodised blue bolts to finish.

I tried to capture the v. small ding on the top tube:

Really looking for collection or mutually convenient meet up. Postage would be a pain.
