I will if I can find or have some stashed away that I have not found yet. I had the headset set aside for my Mojo but it has a Grease Guard installed so that will stay. I have a lead on a fork local so trying to barter with the guy now.

A few pieces rolled in today. I think all will get where I'm going with the build. If anyone has a P2 fork with 7.25 to 7.5 inch steer tube I will purchase. Rarity makes them inaccessible so I'm open to pay if you have one stashed away. Must be threaded and in decent condition.

Some progress on this build but not 100% era correct. Specifically the fork. I bought this with no intention of putting it on the frame but after a rebuild including new elastomers/seals from Suspension Fork Parts, I had to try it. I do like that it's a close match on the colors on the frame and...

This one I think is 96 or 97, forgot I had it. Was in the back of the pile of other bikes.

Here is a fairly nice condition unit in mostly stock condition. Might be expensive to ship if you are in UK or Euro. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/d/san-francisco-minty-1995-japanese-steel/7884271305.html

Heres one I've had for way too long. I bought it as a complete bike but it didn't have all of the parts that were stock or close to that. I stripped it down, prepped it for a rebuild and swapped in a set of all similar color add on's, cable stops seat post clamp. Been waiting for a stem and P2...

The guy I bought this off of wants to buy it back after I have added mostly period correct parts. Not sure what I have into it as most of the added parts I had. Seeing that the Hurricane was a one year only name due to Joe getting sued by Schwinn for name rights, it seems that should add some...

I'm for a rigid fork on there. There's a 96 Bonty frame and Tange fork on US eBay for $425 now, fork is worth more than half that but shipping might kill it. Heres mine with a Tange fork...

There are some fillet brazed Ponderosa's running around as well. Very well made frames/forks and designed by one of the best.

It looks to be B0975. Those are the only letters/numbers I can find on the frame. This frame is 15.5" C to C or 18.5" C to T. How does that fit in with other serial numbers? It does not have any frame material stickers on it and does have Ritchey drop outs in the rear with S style seat stays...

Snagged this last week for a song. 40 minute drive but worth the time and fuel to get it. It was dirty, had some parts that were lower end and needed a few adjustments to make it something I would ride. I had the seat post, tires, XT derailleurs, LX crankset and V-brakes for the upgrades...

Update on the Fire. Added the tires, WTB saddle, gold cage pedals and wax on/off all over. Bike is extremely clean and shines nicely. Did not have to do much to it as the seller is into restoring vintage MTB's but leaves a few things for the new owner to do. He contacted me this morning about a...

I just found these in my tire pile so gonna slap them on the wheels and give them a good scrub. Pics to follow.

@MattiThundrrr. That's what I was looking for, that shape of sticker. Matti, what tubing sticker was normal use on a 94 Explosif without the splined down tube? I've heard that when the splined down tube frames were all gone, Kona painted Kilauea frames as Explosif's.

Pics of the Explosif, 20" center to top. Not sure what size that makes it but head tube is very long. Any guesses about the silver sticker being tubing used or something else?
