sylus - yes, the frame was identical, even the same non routed stem

Thats a great photo in that thread, really bringing out the best in Backfire and Gator.

I'm so tempted, but will wait until I find the correct spindle, wheels built & remainder of BB tool machined (not PD related).

Hah, the wonders of the internet!

You wonder who has it now? I do

Don't know if I bought it off you? I met the seller halfway, i.e. in Lille, France, at the Eurostar station there. But this was 2005, not 2004.

Anyways, the bike is built with m900 and still unridden (well, I rode it once). It is on display in my living room

I'll add some pictures soon.

Re:

Ah, know the feeling.
Sold my pristine 1991 Cannondale SM 1000 a long time ago and I still regret doing so…

That paint is amazing. Sold my Mountain Klein, still regret it

Where did you find that groupset??? I don't suppose you have a rear mech spare?

I love the old Campag stuff, still my favourite components.

Lovely bike by the way...

From my point of view, the klein color "Painted Desert" is the most elegant of the entire catalog.
