To irrefutably prove that you can’t fix stupid... I’m selling my little Rascal. 150% sure I’m going to regret this...

Asking $A900

The good:
- The frame is as close to new condition as you’d find
- The tyres, bar & stem are all NOS
- The XT/DX groupset is in brilliant, barely-used condition

The bad:
- The rear wheel is not matched to the rest of the groupset (but is roughly period-correct)
- The fork has a couple of paint blemishes, the biggest of which has been touched up (relatively easy job to return the fork to mint condition)

Specs:
- 17” (c-t) Klein Rascal Alloy frame (580mm/22 3/4 horizontal TT)
- Klein (Spinner) cr-mo fork
- XT M735 STI levers
- XT M735 cantis
- XT M735 king cage rear derailleur
- XT M730 front hub
- XT HG90 cassette, 11-28
- XT M740 cartridge headset
- DX MT60 crankset (175, 24/36/46)
- DX MT60 front derailleur (31.8 DP)
- Deore HG70 chain
- Klein sealed bearing press-fit BB
- Answer Taperlite 2 bar (uncut @ 580mm)
- Tioga T-Bone Tange Prestige stem (22.2, 135 reach)
- Kalloy 27.2 pillar
- Vetta SL saddle
- Panaracer Dart Magic 26x2.1 front tyre
- Panaracer Smoke Magic 26x2.1 front tyre
- Araya RM17 anodized front rim

Viewing & collection in Black Rock (Bayside) VIC (Melbourne, Australia). Postage to the U.S. or Europe is probably prohibitively expensive, but you can do your own research or I might be able to come up with a quote.

It might just be me but I can’t see a price

Agreed.
Those have got to be the most beautiful, most unblemished set of Panaracer Magic's I've ever seen!
