93 Klein Rascal

It's Ok Mike, the first ferrule I tried on the brake cable pulled straight through the stop but I found a stepped plastic one that seems solid so all good, also this gives me brake options in the future, I'd never dare drill it myself but as it's already done I can take advantage of that if I want down the line. With a bit of thought it's not a negative thing!
Hope your recovery is going well.

Recovery, that's now a different story... I need to sell more stuff so I won't bore you.

Ended up taking this in a different direction.
Still needs inner cables but close.

Still looks long.

Front of saddle to centre of grip is 2cm shorter than my Ti Lite, it should be fine.

I kne w it! You need a 2cm shorter stem. PS: Raise the stem.

It's fine, they don't all need to be exactly the same to the millimeter!

Somehow i feel this will ride awesome in steep singletrack. Sell all those Bontys!

While it was in bits I weighed the bare frame (well, near enough, chainsuck plate and cable liners in place) was quite surprised at 1908g, not particularly heavy but also not as light as expected. Orange Prestige is lighter.

Klein is much much stiffer... and handling in tight trails is superb, i hear.
