Modes of transportation: '90 Kawasaki vs. '07 Trek vs. 94' Kona vs. 09' Koga

 Long ago in a land far away (from Korea) I used to travel like this (1994-2001)
 Then I found this...1994 Kona Explosif (Shock) and began to build a touring bike
 Handlebar bag, Large by Ortlieb
 Schwalbe Marathon tires, standard Kevlar durability
 I built this Trek 6500 SLR series recently
 Hayes Hydraulic brakes, tested and satisfying stops on 1000m descents
 Shimano XT rim brakes and Tektro brake braces, a cable pulley
 Wheetsets, Mavic Crossland SUP tubeless converted to clinchers
 Mavic hubs require straight replacement spokes, note to self
 Columbus MAX OR frame tubing, steel is really strong & light
 Nice steel rack, not fancy, just functional
 Shimano Deore LX caliper brakes and 9-speed shifters
 Lizard brake braces and Shimano XT rim brakes, low maintenance
 Trek 6500 springs to new life!
 Groovy shapes and fast brakes
 94' Kona Explosif setup for bicycle touring
 Packing for demonstration, require waterproofs & missing a trailer!
2009 Koga-Miyata World Traveller, have this in cold storage waiting to travel.
