That is beautiful. It's well documented the association and link with Paul Brodie during this era so I won't repeat it. The fact you have one of the named Brodie painters on the stays is a lovely touch and shows that this one was made to order. The seat tube extension is quite short so I'm thinking even the tube dimensions are likely to be different to a standard Explosif of the time. Some measurements would prove/debunk this theory. Plus you have a pump peg.1988 Explosif is all clean and tuned up. A few more closed up pics to share.

I do not think so. In 1993, the US Kona models were all two tones. The last time I saw a dark green Explosif on internet was from South Africa.Nice. Was that a colour for the North America range/market?

By the way, the serial number for this Explosif is A3030854. Which shop is A?I do not think so. In 1993, the US Kona models were all two tones. The last time I saw a dark green Explosif on internet was from South Africa.
