Re: Kona Explosif 1997 - lovely stuff - finished on P3
Mini update - proper pics to come after Easter. After a few small test rides and the excellent feedback from you guys, I have replaced the Indy's with a pair of Pace RC35's. I was going to go with some Z1/2's but I prefer the more slender look, and they are much lighter. Secretly I've always wanted to own a pair, something about having the brakes the other way round makes
them a bit more unusual.
(I took it over the other week to the LBS to have the forks checked over and there was a little boy with his dad who when he saw her, turned to him and said, I kid you not, "look Dad! A golden bike!" Kinda put his fathers soulless Cube to shame )
I think they look much, much better and performance wise they are like cheese to compared to the chalk of the Indy's. If this weather ever improves I'll be able to get some better pic's, hopefully on a proper ride. In the meantime here's a ropey shot with the A'ha indoors. Thanks to KonaBen for another slightly tweaked set of decals - they look boss!
