He really wants to start getting off-road and into the moors and forestry local, it won't be downhill tho just riding to keep him fit?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got a '95 colombus elip Explosif in maroon, lovely frame to rip for 30 miles but after that it's a bit too harsh, not compliant enuf for me body size (i'd need one a size too small if i was useing it for jaunts)...the model under the explosif, was it called the kilaeau (close enuf) is the nicest, especially from 95 in a tange prestige tubeset....(Tan it all day-just the reet amount of flex). got 97 kila always wanted the ti hei hei from early 90s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
