Hardly Hardy
Retro Newbie
Hello everyone, what a great site thank you!
Ok, I'm sure I bought my Klein back in 1999 or 2000 second-hand. I love this bike and used it for my main ride up until two years ago, (until my 55 year old knees started to suffer). I was the one responsible for the upgrades.
I have kept this bike hoping I could rescue my knees and get back on it again, but I have to face the facts. I'm thinking of passing this bike on now and will most likely cry when I do.
If I do sell it, I'd like to pass as much information as I can about the bike. Also I need to know how much it is worth. If you can help me I'd very much appreciate it.
The bike was resprayed about 10 years ago at Argos Bristol England, chips are upon the bike frame again.
I'm not sure of the year but I think its between 96-98?
Serial number is WTU (hard to read that bit) 032863 P
Some markings I can't read (four markings maybe 3EJJ?
21 K3 12-16
So the 21 is the Klein size, feels smaller that a 21"?
Hardware is Deore XT
Forks are RC36 (still have owners manual)
I have searched the forums but am still a little stumped about a few things. The bike is in Devon UK.
Oh btw its been fun watching my friends buy a new bikes almost every two years or so, while I have kept the love of my life. 25 years with bike and it feels almost like family.
