    Bringing a 93 Kilauea back from the dead

    @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...

    Bringing a 93 Kilauea back from the dead

    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...

    Bringing a 93 Kilauea back from the dead

    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 👍

    Bringing a 93 Kilauea back from the dead

    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.

    A tribute to my old 1990 Kona Explosif.

    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...

    A tribute to my old 1990 Kona Explosif.

    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...

    Bringing a 93 Kilauea back from the dead

    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...

    89 Cinder Cone rescue (hopefully)

    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.
