Well, as the previous owner of the frame, think I should add to this.

Mike, you've done a fantastic job on the frame, the paint is stunning (I'm sure it even looks better in the flesh), and the build just looks so

you've done it proud.

I still can't get over how light that frame was, so I can only imagine as an SS that it's a pretty light bike.

Top work indeed, and does thatmean you're offering your painting services to fellow RB'ers???

So you turned a Pulse Pro into an Attitude.

You bastard!

I've got a Klein from that era and they are pretty damn light. Even though they were built under Trek they were still built with Klein tubing and the rear triangle is "genuine" Klein with the Klein K logo stamped on the rear dropouts.

Obviously they aren't as special as real Kleins but the fact remains that they were sold as a fairly top end bike and ride and handle incredibly well and climb fantastically. Stiff as hell though, even for an aluminium frame.

Thats a lovely finish

how do you think it would stand up to off road use? And do you have a method that differs from normal auto spraying?
