Collection from Brockley but happy to pedal it to you if your inside the m25.

These Explosifs command a pretty penny, don't they?

Was just about to list my Gunnar rock hound with same Salsa fork, same Exotic fork and a Fox sus, Hope wheelset, XT all over, CK headset, Brooks, dropper and Jones bars. Didn't have the nerve to ask for £550 though...

GLWS

That sounds like your selling yourself abit short there. What tubing is it?

Transparency - I am not making any money off this. I bought it for 800 with the revelate bag maybe a month ago?

Great bike GLWS

These were another of the frames I always wanted to get my hands on when I rode MTBs back in Oz. My MTBs over here are in storage though so I definitely don't need another, at least until I get a proper shed. #sadface

That Gunnar. And all the Gunnars actually. Best production frames ever. Made in Us of A , no less.

Sorry if that came out wrong - meant to be a comment on the how well Explosifs have held value.

Think I'm right in saying all Gunnars are mix of 853 and true temper ox platinum

Don't say that. I was Gunnar (geddit) sell it to raise funds for your onion....

Yep. 853 and TT Pl OX

Please do then:)

nuff talk about other bikes
this thing is so awesome, I wish I was shorter so I could ride it
big respect to TvH for putting it together
that framebag included is vvv nice

I could take the dropper post if it is 27.2 and you fancy splitting.

not splitting im afraid.

£100 price drop. now £650 just the bike - no bags.

I'll have to ebay it if no sales on here by the weekend.

Such a cool bike and good price, I'm surprised it's still here

i know right! Think its just hard to sell atm. will throw in some king cages in stainless if that helps push anyone over the edge...

Wish I could afford to still have this. I have the spare derailleur sliding dropouts if buyer needs.

Is dropper 27.2?
If so interested pending few questions

Yes!

How tall are you?

@Hulsroy middleburn cranks?

Tanks. Too dear for me and not my kind off chainring style :-)

But bike was dope!
