Stew, your Rascal is awesome. Manitou Ones, white Panaracers?, looks like you could actually have a good time riding that. Carsten's Kleins are works of art, but I could never bring myself to get one dirty. I'd vote for yours over them.

The guy where I got me Rascal frame had about 5 or 6 Mantras in the shed... he told me "KLEIN Mantra, you gotta love it or hate it". An d no offence, it's really the latter for me.
Although I just LOVE that Attitude (that front fork does really does it for me)!!

Great idea for BOTM
Carsten, i salute you, beautiful collection.
As for the Mantra debate, its a very good bike for long day ride comfort, just not so good at throwing around(the stinkbug effect is fairly horrendous) The shape of the Mantra is a good canvas for paintwork. The realtively plain(for Klein) red is stunning and in real life is exceptionally deep.
