@JCS If you've got the Kilauea itch my suggestion would be not to go for the 93 Kilauea because of the similarities to your 92 Explosif but go for the 95 Kilauea. Apart from the gripsh#tshifters that's an amazing bike,i'd never have sold mine if it was a 19" frame instead of being an 18",thats...

There's not to much difference really,when i had that 20" frame Kilauea i done a back to back test jumping straight off the Kilauea onto the Explosif and the Explosif just feels a bit lighter and more responsive to inputs when riding because of the frame being Tange Ultimate and maybe because...

Cheers, i've adjusted the saddle position and it looks much better so the titanium post is probably staying. I seen your 93 Cindercone thread,great bikes, the impact headset is standard on those 👍

Cheers mate, it's slowly getting there.

That looks better than gold bolts, had a can of sapphire black rattle can paint lying around, it'll do for me 😊 And as a bonus i found the new Dia Compe pads i bought ages ago so they'll be going on.

Daylight pics and comparison pics between black seatpost and titanium seatpost 🤔

Got some pics of it before the rain turned up just need some toeclips and matching quick releases and it's done until i need to nick the XT Shifters for something 😊

They're 1.9" Scwalbe City Jets,have a look on ebay there's normally new ones for sale for not alot of money. I love them because i hate those really skinny slicks they freak me out,i look down at the tyre and think that skinny thing will never go round a corner lol I pump them upto the maximum...

Finally decided on a build spec and looks i'm happy to stick to,for ages now i've never been quite happy with the build specs on this going from full Deore XT to XTR etc. But now i've settled on the black Deore LX M560 with a Deore MT60 chainset, XT thumbies and Dia Compe SS5 Brake levers and...

I'm liking the look of the seatpost,perfect match to the bars but now i'm not sure on the saddle it seems a bit perched on top of it 🤔 i've got a transalps Flite saddle which is wider which may look better. Filled in the Dia Compe lettering with gold on the straddle and used a gold nut which...

Are the Avids for V brakes?

I'm gonna need some more gold titanium bolts,all the way from New Zealand behold the is it or isn't it Kona Titanium O-Beam seatpost, cheers Moglix 😁 Looks like a perfect colour match to the titanium bars aswell so that's all good.

Thank you kind sir 👍

I'm tempted to buy this because i'm about to do a full M900 XTR build on my 92 Kona Explosif. Thing is I don't know what size length axle i need,the bb is 68mm width on the Explosif and i'm using M900 cranks with M900 hubs on the wheels. Any idea if this one is the correct one to use, just...

The splatter effect isn't to hard to do really, all i did was get some Tamiya model paint and a toothbrush to flick it on. Heres some of the ones i've done in the past.
