Klein Adroit 95 budget build, finished p15

[JRGSXR]

Thanks, I’ll address the saddle angle one I get out for a ride. I’ve not even sat on the bike yet. Set the saddle height by measuring bb to top of saddle on another bike I have. Pedals should be here on Monday .

Well with the build almost complete, and the final spec committed too. I thought it was time for this, all subject to change whenever the mood takes me and with no consultation with anyone……
okay maybe Mrs JRGSXR

My £2.51 pedals have arrived . Quick clean and they are ready to fit. I’ll just finish my dinner first.

Well that’s my Klein on a budget finished .

Can’t wait till I get some free time so I can get out for a shakedown run.

Love it

Nicely finished off. Looking forward to reading riding impressions from that shakedown run

Well that’s my Klein on a budget finished .

Both the kitchen & bike look great! Not very often you hear budget and Klein mentioned in the same sentence!

Look forward to hearing how you find it on your test ride. I remember riding a friends Attitude in the early 90s and it went like stink (in a good way!)

Really nice clean build, also looking forward to a ride report.

 

[JRGSXR]

Fingers crossed I’ll get an hour on Saturday for a shakedown ride. I’m out on Sunday for a Mac Retro ride, looking forward to that .

Looks good mate, a tasteful Klein looking like a right snack in that kitchen which I'm still very jealous of. This is like a double build thread, kitchens been getting the full manicure as well.

I’ve always got a project on the go. It’s the upstairs bathroom just now. Once that’s done ( sat ) I’m on to the downstairs bathroom. After that I’ve got a gate and a hedge to sort out. No rest for the wicked .
