Project: Klein Adroit Storm 1993 - last update!

Ok, my first topic, so let's introduce myself:

I, as a student, started biking arround 1988/89 with a Batavus Buster (Dutch ).
After a couple of monts I swapted it for a Giant Terrago. So that's where the upgrading started
I also started racing in 1990 and in 1992 I started my own company, called Bike Pride of Europe, one of the first mail order companies in Europe. Great time from 1992 - 1996. After that I worked for Vredestein Bicycle Tires and trained a lot with the Vredestein team. I stopped biking arround 2000 due to a lot of hobbies!

Well I started again 2 months ago and offcourse it will be Retro Style 1992-1996.

Well, this is my first Retro project!
Thanks Jon for the very nice repainted Klein Adroit Storm 1993.
This topic will show you the complete fase of building up this beautifull bike!

So let's start:

sweet!

Components:


Wheelset: Mavic XC 717 Ceramic, DT Swiss spokes and nipples and TNT hubs!



Some choices to make:
Paul or Proshift?


Paul Stoplights or Titanium Marinovative Decelerators?
Uploaded with ImageShack.us

nice. some tough component decisions to make

Very nice indeed! My preference would be for the Pauls mech and stoplights, although i love marinovative decelerators, i think they'd look out of place with all of the other lovely black components.

Personally i would go for the Paul mech & brakes, but please NO bar ends

Klein Adroit

Nice Storm Dirk Jan!!

I'd go for the Paul's as well and please indeed NO bar ends..

Renzo
