'93 Klein Rascal - Sunburst Linear Fade

[Factorycol]

Some bikes, just need to be owned.

I had some Kleins back in the early 90s, but never a Rascal.

This one popped up recently for sale in the US, and I took a punt and imported it into the UK.

I have no idea if I'll change the spec, restore, or what yet. But here it is, and it certainly brightens up the office here!



Lots of work to do on it now its out of the box, but it makes me smile already!

I think its a '93, and looks pretty stock with full XT with Sun rims.

@Factorycol what shipping company did you use? I’m trying to send a bike from the US to Germany and the cost is bonkers

My company imports / exports quite a bit, so we have a broker. I think on this occasion it was FedEx, but I think you need to allow about £250ish. What are they quoting you

Bike flights $580, and all of the German import taxes on the purchase, almost $1,000, paid upfront

ah, yes the joys of international imports. My company does this full time and its not easy.

The fork is a Mag 21, not RS1. Lovely bike!

You're correct of course. I was listing in a rush. Yes Mag 21.
