All this searching for UL parts... why not just find a real UL Adroit???? Lucky me

Some of the parts are missing, but I have most of them already including a very clean Gator Strata!

I got really lucky, seller had a lot of much higher offers and yet somehow sold it to me at his original asking price.

I will have some spare parts, so we'll talk when I get them bike and see what's what.

Finally changed the spindles for the XC-Pro pedals



Put on a pair of Ritcheys Duro-K 26x2.0 WCS, and another Flite titanium...

Got the weight now at 8.93 KG, for the people who don't speak in KG's, that's 19.68 Lbs

Maybe some other tires and some more tita and it can go under 8.9 KG....but i'm already happy it's under 9 KG.

Oh yeah, and the wheels :facepalm:

Need some tips to get mine down, although I have no clue about weight right now...

Re: 1992 Klein Adroit Backfire

MC2 frameset is lighter than MC1....so that should be possible, some light wheels and tires.....
