I have seen some reports that said that the team riders did not like the Columbus (a team sponsor at the time) tubed Explosif's so rode Hei Hei's painted in the rasta flames team colours to match them. An alternative report was that Columbus could not supply enough of the tubing to make the teams Explosif's early in the partnership, so the team rode the painted Hei Hei's until they were ready. Either way, I'm glad whatever happened so we get to see frames like this, and bikes like al-onestare's Team Explosif.
