Re: Re:

PS: we'll have to have a "Retro Klein" meet sometime

Have you found one then?
You are/were looking for what I would be after if my sensible head wasn't winning the war!

Though Baldyz moonrise has me tempted. :shock:

Yes i seem to remember seeing these rims in an article in either mbr or mbuk but for the life of me i can't remember whichone it was and my Muddy fox Explorer had grey Araya rims on with a slight central apex if i remember correctly which look fully enough like the rm20's but my Muddy was a 1988
model but those rims were pretty sturdy as gave them a fair beating on the trails and that and they seemed to take drop off's in their stride .


This is a weird scenario for me because i generally can't stand the colour pink but for some reason Klein's always suit the colour as if it is just meant to be ..

Re:

In the interest of tidying my place up I decided to get on and build the bike back up (bike bits all over the place :facepalm: ). Have still got to sort out the damaged paint around the head of the set tube but that can wait. Just waiting on a long cage rear mech to finish the build off and it'll be done for now.

Thanks Daniel, when I first found this site and started looking through some of the pic's of the bikes the Klein was the one I really thought would be cool to own so really please to own one in such great shape.
Couple of pic's of the finished bike with the rear mech and chain now fitted, ready to ride. Will get some ride pic's soon hopefully.
