FS: Kona Explosif 1995 green 16" - pic added

Very nice indeed but waiting for a 19" to land which suits me better.

Bought on here recently.

£140.00

Hiya.

Where abouts are you and have you got any pics please?
cheers

Why did you buy a 16", knowing a 19" is more your size? There is a massive difference!

Nice, though.

 

[jez-4-bikes-max]

Why not?

Sorry to point this out, but it is in the "posting rules" that a picture should be attached.

I dont suppose you want to swap the frame for my "in need of much love" 19" explosif ?

 

[BoyBurning]

The new rules actually only suggest a photo being preferable - not a requirement.

Not to do Jez's selling for him, but I think the frame might be this one from Yo-Eddy - he mentions it was bought from this forum recently.

Hate to be picky as I'm far from an expert... but isn't the one pictured in that link a '94?

I thought the '95 had the 'Light' of Race Light in Script with the square'ish downtube lettering (as the '94) where as the '94 has the 'Race' and 'light' either side of the K in an elipse (as the '93)?

If I'm completely wrong (which is highly likely) then can someone place a year on this frame for me?

The one in that link (I have no idea if Jez's is the same bike) is a 94, not a 95. You are correct in your assumptions re the Race Light decals. Also that green was a 94 model. Think the 95 was a rather nice red.

 

[jez-4-bikes-max]

Ah perhaps you Kona gurus are right - its probably a 1994 then.

A year out.....

Anyone want to actually buy it? :evil:
