Kona Explosif 1997 team edition
- Thread starter al-onestare
- Start date
Not officially but it was the usual "...my Dad's bike...I don't know anything about it..." etc. etc.
Summer saw Ryder back on show at the Malverns, along with a few other stars. Always nice to see
I'm always on the look out for pic's of Roland on his Hei Hei, and this popped up today in one of my feeds. It's from the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships Cross-Country - Château-d'Oex, Switzerland, September 18-21, 1997 to be super-specific. Roland finished 7th with Kirk Molday, previously a Kona rider, in 4th.
Almost a year on from when he and the team would have started to use these frames, clearly the paint-matched Z2s were toast and the slime green BAMs were used instead.
He's rocking the Kona shorts and socks, with his distinctive yellow Bell helmet, like he did on the world circuit and nationals that season. I spy a nice big thumbs up patch on the Canadian national shirt too. Super cool
