as much as im liking the new process bikes and wish i could justify an operator

this is a freakin travesty

so glad ive got 2 steel ones

so they’ve revamped the lava dome into a somewhat mediocre specced bike.

oops.

sure it was never that high spec anyhow, but yeah, if you’re going to bring back the name at least put it in a nice niche…..not just 29er.

I suppose at least the explosif is still special shame its not in the raw finish for 14 though

That Explosif looks lovely!

wow! carbon operator for $4k, that’s actually pretty damn good!

£3400 for the lower spec carbon one!

edit ahh i see u said dollars

so they’ve revamped the lava dome into a somewhat mediocre specced bike.

It was always an entry to mid level bike wasn’t it?

That Explosif looks lovely!

Shame that the 2014 one is the colour of a poo…

used to be mid spec
double butted frame, vs tripple butted exposif and single butted hahhana

was the one i was determined to get when i was starting out

in the end i got a hahanna but I now have 2 lava domes
