    Geometry is nice and sounds like you suit kona ht’s.
    Not sure what steel it is, but the 853 version I had was ace.

    I assume that they are 100mm adjusted now, not the old 80mm ?

    My old Explosif was better at negotiating the tough stuff than my Voodoo Wanga, which bounces around more. It was that Columbus OX steel.

    Nope its one of the newer frames. The Seat stays where replaced and cable guides removed before re-spray.

    Its not to dissimilar to the one from chain-reaction.
