It's ugly, but I love it...

I managed to machine some adapters for the Klein oversized headset system to fit the Look Fournales forks married to an X-Lite Angelo stem amd a Campagnolo Record integrated headset...mmm

Some small aluminium pads glued on the spread the load from the Maguras against the carbon fork legs:

I've got a pair of Spinergy Rev Roxs lined up...too much perhaps?

All the best,
 
I really like Mantra's but thats gopping! Would look loads better as SS with some simple forks in my opinion.
 
It's still lovely Dan :D
Though don't put the Spins on, it will be too much ;) It looks perfect as is :cool:
 
It's a crazy looking bike! But it is also fascinating looking

All engineered and linkages and cool funkiness

Do whatever you please what could be too much on that?

The alu load spreaders are an awesome idea, by the way!
 
It's so beautiful it's hideous!!!! Seriously though, beautiful frame, beautiful components. Maybe it's just because you don't have a selle italia flite on it that I am turned away. I'll bet it's a BLAST to ride though!
 
Actually, just got hold of some Manitou Mars forks and an MC2 bar/stem combo for the Klein...so the LOOKs will be going on something else.

MMM, now what's got a URT and is even uglier than a Mantra?
