Cool. How is the build gonna go?
nice!
the only real dont is drilling the rear brake cable exit to run vbrakes
as mentioned before, use a seat post that is long enough so the end is at least 1" below the bottom of the top tube. better 2". the XT might be too short if you need that much extension. the usual 4" insertion depth are not enough on these older frames with the long seat tube extension above the top tube.
is it the one from holden?

Looks great! The M735 XT is definitely the way to go with this one.
Klein used Spinner forks which should be quite easy to find and cheap as well. Getting it painted to match is the most expensive task.
Is the Manitou missing its elastomer stacks since it's so dropped ?

Don't know, does he live in Dallas ?? Thats where the ebay listing said it was..
Forks - Yup, absolutely knackered, cosmetically excellent but will be going rigid as I said..
Seat post - There is either a tiny bit of cracking or it might just be the paint on the back of the seat tube where the tube splits. very small but I think I will have to run a very long seat post to be on the safe side. It's a 27.2 so shouldn't be hard to find..
Very excited about it... another project to add to the list ..
