SBIKE

good job with the link !! the front section of the frame is identical - my swingarm and shock section are different though. my suspension is spring only (no oil/gas shock for rebound) the springs are inside an aluminium housing and not visible - and is adjustable by what i can only describe as looking like the top of an old fashioned bath tap !!

the rear swingarm is also box section aluminium and not curved as the link shows - The frame number is 08064 -
 
SBIKE

here is a photo of the frame - this is straight out of the loft! no bollockings for the condition of the cro-mo tioga revolver crankset please !!

Any ideas on the value of this? 2000 Stumpjumper. 17". Tidy, chain slap and cable rub but not over bad. I was guessing about £150 but any other ideas?

Kona Explosif 1994

I've got a 1994 Explosif frame with Project 2's that I am thinking about selling.

I caught a bad case of girlfriend that developed into full blown wife'n'kids in early 1995, so it hasn't been used heavily and aside from a few scratches and general ageing is undamaged.

Can't decide whether to sell it and invest some cash in a new road bike, so I can start doing biathlons, or to finally buy some new parts that the frame deserves.

Any idea what the frame and fork are worth?
