Well for me Dyna, the bottom bracket didn't work with the spacer, or more so the cranks barely turned so it was no good to me like that.

Re:

Last week Mrs Muz thought it a good idea to 'inquire' about new carpet for the living room. :roll:

So it was delivered on Wednesday! :facepalm:

Been fitting it today, quite happy to do so alone, in between me helping her with the furniture.

Saw an opportunity. Wanting to recycle the old, I tidied up and swept out the garage.
Laid some bike box underlay,

How posh is that?

Ready for tinkering now!

The car normally lives in here, so I will probably trim the sides where the tyre tracks go!

Also made some progress on the Giant MCM, thread update to follow.

Re:

Klein Mantra is my fave bike ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazed none of you remembered me saying that :roll:

Dyna, I might be interested in the frame if you want shot if only as wall art provided its not too pricey. It can join my early full sus frame collection

Just to reiterate :?

It's the worst design Klein ever made, I don't look at it as a suspension frame its a frame thats hinged in the middle.

Aye but with most single pivot bikes the BB/chainset is part of the main frame. The BB being built into the swinging on the Mantra the BB position changes with every undulation in the track.

Re:

Mike I hope you changed the colour of the curtains to match the new carpet? :shock:

 

[velomaniac]

Rob, I have to ask, have you ever actually ridden a URT frame in anger. I ask as its usual that URT haters have never actually ridden the design they seem to hate. The Klein is a sweetspot design, designed for the xc crew not the DH or freeriders. There are also still high end URT designs being made new to this day so besides me there are still URT lovers

Out on my ride today when I stumbled across this outside a pub. What a machine. Absolutely beautiful.

 

[velomaniac]
