KLEIN ADROIT KOI

[any123]

I am selling my koi 96/97 frame with reset racing headset and klien bearing and mc2 stem bar combo and rockshox crown steerer and crown. because i cant find strata forks for it and feel im on a losing battle, you can put normal forks straight in. I bought it off ebay but it has been on the forum before. I will try and find the link to the pics because i do not know how to upload them, sorry guy's. Open to offers

Nice Klein.

Please take time to read the guidance and add a price.

For what it's worth, you'd actually be better off NOT fitting Strata forks to that frame. The '97 Koi like yours (and mine) were suspension corrected to ride properly with the Judy forks running 63mm of travel (they MIGHT also be ok running up to 80mm but that's the upper limit if 63mm isn't).

If you were to run a Strata fork, the front end geometry (head angle, fork trail, etc.) wouldn't give you the same confident/comfortable feeling as the Judy would. Why not snag some Judy's and paint them in Koi so it looks like it's part of the existing Koi frame? This is how Klein used to do it with Attitudes/Adroits that had the RockShox Mag 21's. You'd probably have painted the Strata fork anyway because there aren't any in Koi and I'm assuming you'd want it to match your frame. Anyway, just a suggestion.

I have bought judy's but then I bought quatum pro and then a canndale flash and now im trying to build my fsr m4 and i thought i dont want to have a klein then put sus on so i have thought i will sell it and then wait till a frameset comes in gator with strata forks.

i was just going to keep it and put it on wall but i know i would rather someone make use of it and get the pleasure of building it.

thanks andy
