EDIT - up for swaps or sale:
Still for sale. I'd consider a trade for some nice parts to adorn the Yo Eddy I've recently bought.
Bits I guess I'm after specifically (though I may not need them all) are:
Wheels
Handlebars
Stem
Cranks
Seatpost (27.2 - seat tube has been replaced on the frame)
I'm also after a moby post for my Klein (black or turquoise 27.2, or something else tasty), and perhaps some ringle hubbed, black campag rimmed wheels too.
I'm always partial to something interesting if any of the above are hard to come by.
I bought this a few months back with the plan of having a partner to my rascal GLF, but needs must and sadly this must go, which is a shame for me, but perhaps not for the buyer.
Condition wise, it is not mint, but I would say it is in great condition for its age and is all original paint, which is still very vibrant and has not suffered from fading that I can see..
There are a few marks here an there, and the usual Klein bubble in a couple of small places, but aside from that no dings or dents. Comes with the anti-chainsuck device too.
As with all Kleins it seems, the seatpost is a point of weakness, and despite being advised to the contrary, this frame does have the obligatory hairline crack to the seatpost vent. It is however very small indeed, measuring less than 2mm on one side, and less than 1mm on the other. I can't actually feel the crack from the inside, so it may just be cosmetic, but it would be downright rude of me not to mention it.
Size would be useful - it is 16 inches c2c and 19 inches c2t.
The only other real negative point is that the bottle cage bolts on the seat tube spin in the frame, so will need replacing/riv-nutting.
A few of the bolts are the backfire colour too, which is a nice touch, especially the ones on the rear of the frame for rack mounts.
Straight and true aside from that. I did source some touch up paint pots for the pink and yellow from jonrock, so you could as I was going to do, touch up some of the marks around the chainstay/bb area.
Speaking of which, the bearings need replacing on the BB, but I have a brand new set to include (not pictured)!
Thankfully the previous and ownly owner aside from me was not tempted to convert the frame to take v brakes, so no oversized ugly exit holes to the rear for a full length brake cable.
Forks have a few marks too, but nothing structural and are the original Klein spinner forks in the same backfire scheme as the frame.
MC1 has a few marks and one area that the paint has flaked off, but this will be inder grips, so not visible. They will polish up nicely and perhaps need touching up if you want them to be completely unmarked to the untrained eye. Early version with the canti noodle!
Headset is included, a campag 'brev' though I think this will need some tlc as it is not smooth and may need the bearing surfces polished if you wanted to use it, which is a shame, as it is absolutely mint cosmetically.
I'm after £225 for the package, as this is what it owes me after purchase cost, postage and the touch up paint.
Any questions, fire away. If you are going to ask what is the white cable coming out of the frame, it is actually a coat hanger that I used to create a guide for when I was going to replace the inners, so will leave this in to help run the cables.
