Hey People,

I have redone my Klein again. This time taking a step back and putting some original parts back on. Back to original Manitou Spyder R front suspension (New adjusters, refresh kit). Original bars, stem, headset (new bearings, top race, top cover). New grips, new shifter/brake cables/brake pads. I kept the 9 speed wheel set and the XT derailleurs and brakes, as well as, the SRAM Attack shifters and Avid SpeedDial Ti levers.

Always interested in offers and have several interested parties. Feel free to make an offer if you're interested.

It isn't in the UK, but can easily be shipped there.

Cheers,
Matto

Good morning to you all on the other side of the pond.
I hope this finds everyone safe and well.

The original Manitou suspension just wasn't cutting it. I loved the original retro look, but the Bomber far out performed them. I have swapped around other parts as well. My latest configuration is my favorite of all.

Here is the current config:
