Hi all,
Most of you already know this frame, has appeared here before. When the previous owner send it, (a very nice guy!) I began searching for a complete XTR M900 groupset, for which I had some parts already.
I wanted to look like the one appeared in the 1993 catalog.
Most parts are NOS, and the just thing I might change are the tyres, but lets see what ideas I can get from those klein gurus we´ve got here ;)

Lovely - you cannot beat a simple Shimano M900 build for looks and riding pleasure. Great job. 8)

That's beautiful.

Such a great shape those smallish older kleins. Perfect hardtail shape IMO.

Umma Gummas finish it nicely.

:D
