gonna start this out by stating that I am, and will likely always be a steel guy. and, I live on an island in the pacific at sea level - I can literally chuck a rock a rock out out my window into it. now forgive my ignorance, but I heard somewhere that salt is bad for carbon fibre. used to work...

oldshovel - has some awesome Kona restoration vids, amongst others...👍

yeah, he's pretty funny...

ultraromance is pretty good...

lol

I run a set on my '97 Hot and would say they are "adequate" for my application : paved shoulders , gravel roads & bike paths. a little skinny for any serious off road riding, imo. if you're looking to sell them , shoot me some pics and just might shoot you an offer...;)

I've got a lonely sun hoop kicking around here someplace....will try to track it down this afternoon.

hey gang, been a while! looking for a red 1 1/8 threadless top cup to most likely purchase, unless you're into swapping for a very faded one which is now basically pink, lol.

awesome, ty...:)

can a guy use a front chainring designed for 9 speed w/an 8 speed rear cassette? am assuming it should work, just wondering if it will affect performance somehow?

idk what you mean by that…??? I sent a request to join the group, but am still waiting for admission - I am very curious about this bike…

is that one on FB for sale, Al? *salivating*

and yeah, there’s absolutely no shame in hanging it up - nothing wrong with enjoying beauty, for beauty’s sake…😉

well, whatever you end up doing to it…WATCH THE PAINT!!!

and here's the latest, and probably last acquisition to the stable : unless I come across a 2018 in my size, that is...;) - OR, if Kona decides to make another Explosif at some point...*fingers crossed*. that being said, if anyone has a small/med. 2018 they're looking to part with, let me know...
