Hi all.

It was alone, dirty, rusty and sad.






She is now happy riding trails.

Great, how long did that take? Did the Mags need much attention? or did the boots protect them?

Thank you.
It has taken me a couple of weeks, cleaning, degreasing, polishing, cleaning, degreasing, polishing... I already had some components to change, Flite, Gripshifts, etc.... It still needs some more.
The fork was leaking air, I used another Rock Shox as a cap valve donor and it works fine at the moment.

I'm not sure bike design didn't peak with the '94 Explosif.

Quite lovely.

Great work, always nice to see another kona ( any retro bike) saved and back out in the wild .
