KONA...make over for the old girl "explosif " content

[Ernie]

just had the daily commutor stripped from the gold and black and powder coated in a chrome laquer .i did have a cindercone done about 2 years ago. New decals from our resident guru Gil_m. Two era decals like my old orange kilauea{now owned by pompydave }

I bought this explosif in june 2010.. it was originally red frame gold decals from 1995..it was then sprayed black when i got it..i then sprayed it gold in late 2010

Very happy with it

Nice to see you haven't let your standards slip...

Looks good, Ernie! The new look seems visually cleaner. As a side note, I'm glad to see the lights/reflectors on your commuter. I run my lights on the road whether day or night. It really makes a difference in visibility and how I'm treated by motorists.

Cheers Spearedhot..thanks for the feedback ..yes it does look "cleaner and lighter"..the black and gold was visually heavier.. funny you mention lights with cars and commuters..just got an update on my claim page 5 viewtopic.php?f=8&t=129150

Very crisp and clean, Ernie, just how a commuter should be (in my very humble opinion ). I like this very much indeed. May I ask what fenders you're running here?.

Hi Rusty..
the mudguards are bontrager..dont know which model..had them about 5 years now..a bit scuffed and chipped in place but they do get a hammering with "our" bad pot holed roads.. think i paid about £25 for them.

They took a bit of fixing here and there..i would recommend them

Cheers bud

I've got a gold explosif that I was going to get repainted, but seeing your paintwork I'm in 2 minds now.

Thanks for that!

Very nice though (as all your bikes seem to be)!
