Re: I try to build an LTS from 1996...
Should be the LTS team which was sold frame only.
Its the same blue as the LTS-2 but but made from 6061-T6 and with the titanium linkage.
Also made in USA :wink:

It was about a challenge between a good friend and me, who can build the lighter titanium bike from 1993-1994 with suspension fork, click pedals and offroad tires.
I have won...
Re: 1990 Klein Top Gun Restore
Nice one. Not so many Top Guns are out there...
Since you decided not to go for a catalog spec, why using a "boring" XT 730/732?
Campagnolo for example can also go well...
Backfire MC2, very nice!
Only two little points.
First the seatpost. Even its a Klein branded, this build earned a tune or something like that.
And imho silver spokes fit better for a bike from 1996.
