Re: Very Rare Stelbel Italian Frame fork TIG Columbus Hi there, just emailed you (i think) to see if this is still available? Cheers, John

Re: Monday morning bump - please don't make me ebay it :cry: J

Re: Some more pics - first lot weren't the greatest due to the unseasonal sunlight! :facepalm:

Hi all - not been on here for a while but sadly it's time to part with my mantra so thought this would be a good place to start (had it on ebay for 1 day then I realized i'd be crippled by the fees so cancelled it sharpish) 1998 Klein Mantra Race in the Koi Fade colourway, size medium -...

Hi there, interested in the shifters if the sale doesn't go through Cheers, John

Hi guys, cheers for the offers; dbmtb - I love Royce stuff, however you're right, it's probably overkill :cry: - the cranks are IS taper & so would sit further out on the spindle too on a JIS BB - cheers anyway! Kermit - the bearings on the old one were shot so probably more hassle to...

Hi all, As per title, building up a SS project from an old frame I picked up locally & need something to stick the cranks on ;) Would prefer Shimano as I have the tool to install them, but not fussed - doesn't have to be anything rare or fancy as it won't be doing big miles or being...

That's lovely - good luck with the sale, a bargain I wish I could justify! :cry: (could arrange a swap deal for beligerent pomeranian if interested)

That's a stunner - loving the old school feel but with modern components, couldn't have picked a better spec list imho! Seen a few of the Feather frames popping up here & there, between him & Donhou amongst others there's some excellent new talent emerging in UK framebuilding which is a good...

http://www.bustedcarbon.com/ Best stay away from pretty much every company producing carbon components today if anyone's worried about failure! Otherself - nice build, i'm currently torn between building up a "modern" carbon framed bike or a "retro" steel framed job, as this is retrobike...

I love those Mavic rear mechs! Nice work on the build 8)

8) irie! Always loved the rasta ano bits & wondered how far you could take a "rasta" bike, that's actually far better than I could have imagined one would look - top work on tracking all the components down!

I've been trying the stuff he was pulling in the Dirt video for the last 15 years & still can't do any of it, made it look all too easy! I'd also like to think the top pic was near the start of an xc race! 8) RIP JMC

Hey all, Not really posted much on here (usually on bikeradar - same name), but i'm thinking of selling my 1998 Klein Mantra Race as it simply doesn't get used due to a lack of time & 2 other bikes which i'm not bothered about scratching! Anyway, before I consign it to a lifetime in the...

How much travel do the Manitous on yours have? The Judys on mine are adjustable between 60-80-100mm & I think it handles best with 80mm+ as it lessens the effect of the head angle steepening under braking if the fork compresses slightly. J

haha, cheers mate - just been looking at yours in fact, the version with the triple clamps was the one I first seen in the bike shop & totally loved it! I almost went with a set of Spins for this one infact, then I picked the Crossmax up on ebay a couple of years ago - I do like the all black...

Hey all, i'm new here but thought i'd join & post some pics of my '98 Mantra Race... until I discovered I need to post twice before adding pics. anyway...
