Kona Explosif 1997 team edition

[al-onestare]

Sam Pilgrim runs ridiculously hard pressures which even his fellow competitors think is crazy, especially for the stunts he pulls. I'm running 60 on the front and 70 on the rear on my road bike. Off road, 25-35 max

Haha nuts! I am usually the same but I just do the hand squeeze test. Very technical.

Have to agree with Adrian, those pictures are stunning. The bike was nice anyway but it really pops in these

Thank you and yep, they did an incredible job capturing her

 

[Mortonm]

Great shots. Though it does look better with some dirt on it

She also looks better with her fancy NOS saddle that'll be removed and saved before she's next ridden!

I may have asked this before, but is this the same "Columbus Kona mountainbike" that was listed to eBay back in 2016? If so, I was one of the other bidders who lost! Part of me wishes I had bid more to win, but honestly, I can't think of a better person to own and restore this beautiful '97 than you Alasdair! It has my vote for the upcoming BOTM.
