Picked up the Kilauea after work today, everything's all good with it and it was bought off the original owner who used to race it, 3rd place at Guisborough no less.He was a really nice person and showed me a load of his photos from the racing days.
Its pretty much still original bar a different rim on rear, tyres and the saddle and the pedals have been changed to Deore XT comps.
Love the fact it still has the original bike shop sticker aswell.
Size wise i think it might be ok , i normally have 19 inch Kona frames but this doesn't seem much different,maybe swap the stem for a shorter Velocity one. Another thing i'm looking forward to finding out is, if there's alot of difference between this and the 93 Explosif.
Here's a couple of quick photos of it when i got it back.
