Antwack's KLEIN Pulse

[Antwack]

Nice looking project. I like it.
The frame seems to be a "pulse comp" Trek era frame. The pre Trek pulses (and the Pulse IIs ) had internal cable routing.

About the "missing" canti hanger, you can buy seat clamps with integrated stops. Or use one of those stops that are attached to/by the seat clamp.

Thanks mate... do you know what year this frame is?

The thread title originally stated Pulse II but I realised I'd made a mistake so changed it to Pulse.

I've been looking for one of those seat clamps with the built in hanger but not found one yet in 36.4mm.

I'd say its 97 or 98, but I'm not too sure. 96 would have had bottle cage mounts underneath the lower tube. And in 99 there was no Pulse mentioned in the catalogue any more...

Thanks! I wasn’t sure if I was in the wrong section and should be in 1998+?

Me personally, I think it fits this part of the forum quite nicely. No rear sus. No disk brakes. No weirdly shaped frame tubing...

I've decided I'm going to add some hints of green and blue. I need to fabricate something in order to press this headset in.

I've been thinking about how to press these cups in and I have a large G-Clamp in the shed that may work with 2 small sheets of wood or metal?

Thanks, I'll take a look!

I’ve bought a cassette in the sale so I’ve now almost got everything I need to begin building except a 36.4 seat clamp that I’m struggling to find… oh, and pedals.

I was able to find the seat-clamp online.

Annoyingly it matches the blue of the handlebars I didn’t want to use as the one I do is a darker blue.

I was kindly given some pedals from @DuoTech which I’ve given a quick clean and a lick of paint.
