Klein mantra pro

Hi Simon,
If you have a 96/97 Mantra Pro then you'll have the MC2 headset combo.
What front fork do you have? This model came with RS Judy SL but later Kleins came with Manitou forks which can also be fitted.
You have the MC2 bar and all the bits required or do you literally only have the frame? Did you buy the NOS one from Italy by any chance?
If you need the bearings try kleinspainted dot com, Jon will be able to help you out. You can use various bits of tubing and a bit of brute force to remove and replace bearings but it's better if you can find someone with the correct tool kit to do the job properly/safely.
Post an image or two of what you have so we can help confirm what (if anything) you are missing.
Best of luck

Hi Simon,
Other consideration could be to fit headset reducers so you can run a conventional 1 1/8" fork and stem. These use the Klein bearings as the headset so as long as you have these it's an option.
A few companies make them and they can found on eBay usually.
Someone might also have a suitable MC2 fork for sale if you want to keep it original!

Re:
Hi,
I think they do a conversion here

But it will look a little crude.
I have MC2 steerer crowns here so you could fit your own legs. RS SL/SL2 for example.
