You mean it won't be white
Dont judge i have one
Cool kit stash
Couple of bits to update...
Recently got hold of a set of Dia Compe 987 canti brakes. I really like these - one of my favourite parts so far. They would have been original equipment on the higher-end 1993 Konas (Explosif / Kilauea).
The XT hubs have now been built up into a pair of Sun CR18 rims at the LBS. Stainless spokes. Have also fitted some re-release Onza Racing Porc IIs.
Hoping to get the frame sent off for painting soon. Bob Jackson is looking favourite at the moment...

i cant see all the pictures anymore
Still looking good by looks of things
The $64,000 question is, what colour scheme are you going for? Also will you be going for some kind of enamel finish, I had both my konas repainted that way but in retrospect should have gone for a powdercoat, both frames chipped pretty quickly without me even trying
Keep up the good work..

Ta Mynchiboy. Yeah, I've been thinking of a painted finish rather than powdercoat. Where did you get yours painted? Both at the same place?
Not decided 100% on the colour yet - very likely to be silver though! Just gotta decide whether I'm going to have a second colour on the rear triangle or not...

Argos Racing Cycles carried out both the repaints for me, although I did splash out a bit for getting all the work done. They did do a very good colour match for one bike though, the other was repainted pastel blue which came out very nice with the silver '95 decals, was originally silver grey(ish).
As a suggestion, I always thought that the silver/black fade of the '93 explosif looked the coolest
