Kona Explosif Mountain Bike Frameset. 1993 Model with Tange Ultimate Chromoly Steel Tubing – with the fluted downtube. Very rare to find. Size 18 Approx Measurements. Top Tube Centre to Centre = 22/560mm. Seat Tube Centre to Top = 18/460mm. Weight = 6.5lb/2.95kg (includes Forks and headset). Has had a rattle can respray at some point so is definitely one for a full restore project. The final photo shows a scan of an old MBUK magazine where it won the test. I was after one of these for years after reading this and was fortunate enough to pick this up 10+ years ago and built this up as a winter hack. I never bothered with a full respray as I later picked up an original 1995 model that was in a better size for me! Signs of the years and age. Small ding on the downtube. Nothing to worry about and really common on these old school Kona thin walled tubes. Was like this when I got it! These early Kona Steel frames are very sought after and are only getting rarer.
