That Klein is seriuosly nice. Funny, I've never aspired to own or even ride a Klein, but good ones like that sure are nice to look at!*
It's like music - I like listening to a bit of Bach or Bethoven but when it comes to playing - I'd rather bash out some Megadeth!


*no, this is NOT a comment on the metits of riders vs garage queens, each to their own I say.

CHOWI

is it too late for me to put your recommendations on the Santana?

I have all of that kind of stuff sitting around for a fat chance build i am working on....

I should probably re read the rules...

 

[Radoslaw]

If you upgrade your bike with that couple of details, even with saddle only, I don't see reason why you couldn't add or swap one of your photos before pull will start. Not sure it is worth all that hassle though. I swapped my Fat photo last month as bike received another pedals and bottle cages.
I concur, filled brazed Columbus Max is really nice to look at.

'90 Dolomite Attitude

I know it's about as unique & rare as a fart @ a curry eating competition but i'm happy with the result of the restoration so here it is for your consideration. Build thread here.

 

[videojetman]

i know it's being a bit picky, but that attitude really should have pedals on,
it just seems incomplete, stunning bike though.

Re: '90 Dolomite Attitude

I don't know that I'd call that a restoration. It's more of a rebuild seeing as it has none of the original parts and really almost zero parts the same age as the fuselage.
