Here you go! @Hombre

The bike you could buy with Klein money these days, too... Honestly though, I'm really happy for anyone that has a bike they love That's all that really matters. Loving a bike. Riding a bike. (If you don't ride it we're not the same person, and that's OK too. I just won't ever respect you...

No, it's ******* not. And that's such a classic Klein-lover thing to say. It's not envy. Or not always. Some people just think they look ill-proportioned and shit. Other people ride actual bikes and know they ride like unforgiving ass most of the time, too. All good tho. Sometimes nice...

I love when the first bike entered immediately means I can rule myself out of the temptation to enter something myself! Stunning stuff.

I voted. Even though I voted for a bike I feel like probably doesn't actually get ridden THAT much...

Yeah, you guys are so judgmental... ;) This is a masterpiece of the run-what-you-brung variety! And looks like someone got themselves a playful bargain to play with...

If I had to keep only one vintage MTB it would be my Sov. It just rides superbly. Fully modern-feeling in geometry, with a nice long headtube and sloping TT, I feel planted inside the bike thanks to the long wheelbase. The Gartorblade tracks better and rides more smoothly than any other...

But the wrong choice repainting it in the first place! ;) (Sorry, I'm just a sucker for keeping paint, regardless of condition. I like battle scars and stories!)

Martin, that's an absolute masterpiece. Once again! Congrats. And I can't believe I'm attempting to correct one of the masters of this shit, but.. Surely those are super early Paul QR's front and rear, rather than Ringle? Which makes them even cooler, in my book. Not sure I've seen them...

A non-period, idiosyncratic CX build for daily Southern California riding! An ex-racer’s ex-race whip. Came to me with a stretched rear (135) and crimped stays to accommodate a road crank and 700/42s front and rear. Suntour XC Pro/Dura Ace 7700/XTR M952 mashup 2x drivetrain stolen from the...

Might be the weirdest build I’ve seen in a minute! Good for you!

Does it really matter if you can't enter your re-worked bike because you've already entered it twice if you have no chance in hell of even winning anyway, because @synlos has already entered his flawless '89 Blizzard on page 1? Asking for a friend, Etc.

Great work! And yeah, WD-40 for the win. I use it to finish all my titanium bits and pieces. And a bunch of other stuff too! It's actually better as a cleaning product than anything else.

Yes!

Singlehandedly keeping this thread alive? Two from Friday, anyway.
