I'm lucky enough to have a Klein Mc2 fuselage coming my way in Painted desert.

So I'm amassing parts ready for the build. I can't wait to get everything together.

So far I've got:

Cook Bros Crankset Black (to be traded for a Silver arms/Black spider pair)
Syncros seat post and Flite Titanium saddle (re-issue) VGC
XTR M900 front derailleur VGC
XTR M900 shifter/brakes VGC
Dia Compe 987 cantilever brakes black NOS
XT M737 spd pedals VGC
Tektro RPB Cable straddles black NOS
XTR M900/Black Campagnolo Stheno wheelset VGC
Original Ritchey Z-Max Megabite tyres VGC
Ringle Holey wheel and seat post Skewers silver VGC

Still need to get:
XTR M900 rear derailleur
Cassette
Handlebar Grips
Cables
Chainrings
Crankset (waiting on the silver/black Cook Bros, but i might end up going XTR M900, we'll see.

And of course lets not forget the Klein Attitude Mc2 Fuselage, 1995, Painted desert 21 inch coming soon.

The component selection is fairly fluid, it changes as i think of new things or find parts, but I'm aiming for black components with splashes of silver against the Painted Desert. If anyone has any bits they think might work well or from my Still need to get list, do get in touch.

Comments and feedback welcome, i'll post more details and pics as i get the frame and more bits. Aiming to have this riding by Xmas.

My thoughts exactly. It'll sit next to my 95 Adroit nicely. Then I'm on the hunt for an Mc1

A few more picas of the impending frame.

Here it is stripped back and readying for paint.

Re: Klein Attitude Mc2 Painted Desert.

And here is some mid painting pictures.

Decal masks applied and colour coat over the top too.

The Painted Desert scheme is such a lovely colour.
All kudos to Dave Wilkins, he is doing an incredible job.
