When I owned this bike it looked a fair bit different, this was my 1st official RB ride!

Re:

Always like to see a mountain bike in mud!

I think mud fits as well as pure virginity. My build will stay a wallhanger. Unfortunately/fortunately. Even the community has different meanings about.

Of course I would like to ride. The reason not to ride the bike is that I want to preserve as good as possible the old times. I just want to freeze 1993 in that sculpture.

Re:

Stunning, I can see why its more of an art piece, better off riding riding a more bashed up Klein, I guess one crash or knock is 3 years wasted and whole lot of money and memories! Really good photos by the way. One of best examples I've seen, one the best mountain bikes I've seen. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks a lot for the kind feedback! The reason to show the photos in public is to share a piece of bike history with you!
At least I am always on a time ride when holding an old part in hands or watching cool retro builds.

Maybe I should apply for a bike of the month vote. Let's see...
