For Sale Klein Mantra

[dandy1]

Another I'm not sure I want to sell.. So just testing the water. Build thread can be found here: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/klein-mantra-race.441546/

Frame: 1998 klein mantra race in lovely koi
Rear shock: fox rp3 (serviced recently)
Fork: rockshox sid xc
Wheels: mavic crossmax ceramic
Tyres: charge splashback 2.1
Groupset: shimano xtr m950/1/2
Headset: hope
Stem: hope
Seatpost: hope
Bar: Easton monkey
Saddle: charge spoon
Pedals: wellgo mg-1
Cables: jagwire pro

I think it's an 18" but can grab measurements if someone is keen. Frame has a few scratches and the odd chip, again I can grab pictures of certain areas if someone is keen.. but everything works as it should and bike gets lots of comments out and about

Price.. Not a clue.. Got to worth a fair bit in parts. 1200? NOW £1000?

Would prefer not to post or split at this stage.. But may consider splitting if there's enough interest in various parts

Located near Street, Somerset... Collection only.. Will not post

Thanks

Take it this is too expensive?

Any interest if split?
Or just go ebay route as prices tend to be higher

A little bit Dan yeah. There was/is a similar spec mantra on eBay well over year and a half now. For same price as well

Yeah... Its tough to price especially when everyone is looking for a bargain nowadays. I don't want to sell but wanted a price I'd be OK with...but the figure I came up with includes parts priced individually undercutting similar items! So I'd imagine it'll fetch more split for parts

If I'm honest Dan your price is what it's worth split up into frame and parts.
There's not a great deal of love for mantras on Retrobike. They are definitely marmite bike.
I love them.

eBay is the best option in this instance.
Unless you are willing to ship abroad as last time I sold mine I had quite a bit of interest from Europe

 

[dandy1]

Oh I love it... But need the money. Maybe I'll split it and list on ebay

 

[dandy1]

People just want bargains now... the amount of times I've been battered down on a price... Thrown in extra items for free... Got no thanks or found the item up on ebay within a week for way more than sold is ridiculous

Price drop.... Now 1000 pounds
