Must go to a good home, but concerned that due to size someone may break for parts? Comments?

lovely. an 18'' up to 5 feet 5inch tall person . If you buy then reselling the XT could get you lots of £££
Fine if that what the buyer wants to do. Just hope they don't fit suser forks.

It's not something I'd personally consider. It's just I've noticed that some Retro bikers are prepared to break any bike of any vintage to get the parts they want for their own build regardless of the quality of the doner bike, rather than sourcing the parts individually.
I'm just curious as to whether there is a consensus on what is OK to break and what is not OK to break - or is it fair game regardless?
I suppose it depends on how desperate you are and how deep your pockets are........

My opinion is: if you buy it with your money its yours to do what you want with.

Thats minty but I dont think its just 'come out the box'
Thats been riden you can see some mud in the pics and I dont think Kleins came with 'Onza' decals on the forks as standard...
Nice condition though

It's many times cheaper to buy a bike whole for the parts, as opposed to buying the parts individually.

As for your question, sometimes it's ok to break, other times, it's not. Doesn't mean that will stop anyone.

As for this Rascal, it was an entry level Klein, so ok to break, though at that price, the parts can be had cheaper, so would kind of defeat the purpose. Should be bought by someone looking for a Rascal, with this build in mind, then perhaps it will be an OK price...still not a good price ($700 starting bid) imho.
