If only I was as Adept....

Doubt I will ever be as acomplished as the bike...but I'll try and do her justice..

Pretty much a museum piece....can't have been riden hardly ever...minimal signs of use and storage....picked up of the bay..from the widow of the original owner who sadly died in December.

93 Klein Adept, not sure of colour..can't find a reference in the catalogues...it looks almost grey/black in some lights..then turns to an amazing metallic aubergine, through purple to bronzey gold...changes i just can;t capture sadly..

Full XTR...riding on Mavic Open 4 CD with Avocet 700 x 35 Cross tyres ( slighty cracked from age )

Kalloy Uno seatpost with Avocet 02 air 40R titanium saddle, pedals were XT 735's but I have stuck on some 520 spds until i get some 737's

And of course, the obligatory MC

..and it rides like nothing else I have ever ridden...

Fitting tribute to the original owner that it's gone to someone who'll enjoy it and look after it I think!

Utterly stunning bike.

Reckon so..captured much better than me.

I tried in the bright sun earlier to take pics ... but still couldn't do it justice.

really am very pleased though...took a lot to spend that amount of money...

But I am going to ride her..along with the Fervor that got in from the states earlier in week. Might even rebuild the Pulse II with correct XT spec..as all good things are supposed to come in 3's..
