New Project: Mantis Flying V: update 09/06/2013

@Rahbari: I really do not know exactly the year, but I think it is a 1993 or 1994. Frame number is: VL181933 or VL181033.
Who can help me out?

The seatpost must indeed be purple. I bought a Kooka seatpost in Italy, but the person did not send it yet.
And that worries me a lot... Because he already got my Klein Attitude frame :shock:

Wow its coming together so nice matey

more purple please

liking the polished handlebars, matches the rear end so well

Thanks to an article in the MBA from october 1990 I felt in love with this bike

What kind of forks did Cunningham use? Somebody who knows that?

Don't You think about purple Marzochi XC500 here?

Mantis

Fantastic build again and the fact that its not a Klein surprises me but I can completely understand why.. What a stunner! I think you should get a bike from every brand you ever sold when you owned bike pride of europe

although that we be be a big list

MAMMAMIAAAAAA!!!............look where it has gone to rest my answer seatpost

nice build,e-stay frames do look good. this will be even better with loads of purple on it.

Thanks guys!

I did sleep very well last night, but I also am glad to woke up early to build this bike!

@skolioza; Yes that crossed my mind, but there is a bit gold in the frame and that matches the Rock Shox Mag 21 SL perfect!
@kleinrenzo; I agree! If I collect all the nice Bike Pride of Europe bikes I made in those day's I should open a MTBmuseum

@CANTILEVER; your seatpost gets an other project
