Kona Explosif 1997 - "look, a golden bike!"

[al-onestare]

It's a rasta paint job right? If it's the custom Ti frame then I'm officially the most jealous man in the world!

Close but no cigar...

Not Roland Green frame then.

That Explosif looks good,was my dream bike back in the day..

Doesn't have the same head tube badge as the Roland Green frame, the custom painted KK frames I've seen all have green cable stops and it isn't a hot, the plot thickens!

Good work Mark, you're onto something

If it's none of the above then I'm stumped, but that head badge means it's a '98, right?

I think you need to put us out of our misery. I've been googling for clues and it's affecting my work...

Re:

Added to a thread on a 97 Explosif, so... is it a 97 Explosif with some kind of respray custom / team colour link?

The only conclusion I can come to is that it's another team frame, possibly an actual steel one not a painted KK. I've Googled and Googled but can't even find a picture of the 1997-8 XC team. If it is I think you've trumped your Caldera and I didn't think that would be possible!
