Klein Pulse with P2 forks / XTR Wheels

[Twister]

AFAIK All the late 90s pulses have the same frame, the race, comp and pro variants signified what finishing kit they were supplied with.

Just checked 1998 Klein brochure and "Pulse" was entry level model below "Pulse Comp". Previous comments about all frames being equal still stand.

It's a great value frame, looks in good nick, build it with what you want. (pulse owners rant over now)

BTW am I suddenly first in line for wheels? If so could I please see pics.

Sorry guys, why is a Pulse without a "Comp" or "Race" or whatever an issue?

A Pulse without any suffix should be a Pulse from 1994 and/or 1995 - at least this is what I thought. This frame was more or less identical to the MC2-Attitude apart from the oversized steerer tube and the MC2-unit. It features the micro-dropouts, the cable-routing inside the frame, smooth welding, gradient tubing, integrated seatpost clamp, etc. Here is a nice example of 1994/95 Pulse frame:

The frame offered doesn't display much (anything?)of the fancy features Klein was famous for. Still a nice looking frame which probably isn't overpriced given the P2 forks in matching colour.

Deffo 98 if my reading of this is correct: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/d/7 ... a59c903f3a

And although it's a post Trek Klein afaik it will still have micro-dropouts & gradient tubing.

At least my 97 Pulse Comp does....

Edit: just seen your pic and that is stunning.

True! Looks like a 1998 Pulse! And without a suffix, too!

Not sending out of UK so no need to worry about it Rahbari. Frame is the same throughout range, rest depends on groupset.
