Caroline Alexander’s Klein “Pulse” - Attitude by a different name? Racing History, no less.

show us the pic when you present and give her the bike

If I gave her the bike, she’d be getting an invoice with it!!!

Would be great to show it to her snd get her to sign it! Still want to get Tim Gould to sign my Pug/Roberts machine…

Love this build. Going to be so good when done!

Only issue I have is Caroline’s bike had mark 1 and 2 Vector forks with the integrated stem rather than the mark 3s with the steerer clamp. She started off with the steel stem mark ones, then moved on to the alloy stem mark 2s. She certainly used the mark 3 and the later carbon ones, just not on this bike

The joy with the mark ones is that it brings the bars down a good inch or two and you don’t have a huge amount of steerer showing above the head tube. The downside is finding the buggers.

You said it - it’ll be nice.
As for the forks if I, or anyone else for that matter, see a decent pair not super expensive (which has been the issue), I’ll likely replace the current ones. Drop me a PM if there’s one available.

I’m not going to speak to soon but hopefully I’ve found a set of Vector 2’s which, if the photos of the pair for sale are as good as the actual fork, could be a winner. Talk about lucky!

More as they arrive and ultimately are fitted.

If I find her I’ll show her but the amount of £ I’ve spent, and ultimately still have to spend to get it right, I doubt very much she’ll be gifted the bike. I just spent £200 on new forks today after @pete_mcc rightly pointed out the fork difference.

I love spending other people’s money!
