I'm a new member to the forum and I'm doing research on Klein Mountain Bikes to sell. I have two, which I initially thought were Rascals, based on the serial numbers on their rear dropouts. It looks like early Klein serial numbers have some confusion surrounding them, based on the research I've done so far. For instance, the R does not mean Rascal (serial number R57FA).

Looking at the frame and based on an early post I read in this forum, I'm convinced what I have are Pinnacles. One is in Flare (color) which is one of two standards offered on Pinnacles in 1992.

I just want to confirm with anyone that this, in fact, is a Pinnacle

Welcome to the forum

I've moved your post to the chat section for discussions. I recommend getting some pics up to help people out.

Thank you raidan73 for the nice welcome. I attempted to post some pics but I had trouble embedding them into the post. I will try again.

This was the best I could do. I hope it helps anyone who will view it.

Pinnacles have rack mounts & vertical drop outs.
Rascals have no rack mounts & rear facing horizontal dropouts.

That's great, darreni, this is quite helpful. I appreciate your insight.

I'm pretty sure, based on the research I've accumulated, that what I have are 1989 Klein Pinnacle XCDs. They both have their original Durathane coats, in pretty nice condition considering their more than 25 years passage.
