Hi all! I haven't been on RB for a while....a mix of self enforced absence due to having a toddler, and trying to limit my online time due to a new job!
Anyway, I'm just not riding this bike, and have my eye on a new CX bike that'll do me better for day to day use.
I think it's a '96 or '97 Quantum Race. The serial number denotes 96, but it has some 97 features!
The frame was bought in about 2000 by my dad from a French triathlete, who said he had built it up but never ridden it. It then hung in my dad's shed for the next 13 years until I got my hands on it.
It's currently built up with Campag Mirage 9 Spd brifters, front mech, and chainset, but a Shimano rear mech and wide range block for the steep hills around here. I have the Campag rear mech, so it should just need a closer ratio block to get that working.
- 1996/97 59cm Klein Quantum frame & forks. Aluminium frame, and carbon forks.
- Campag Mirage shifters, front mech, chainset and BB.
- Shimano Ultegra brake calipers, debadged XT rear mech and 11-36 rear block + Campag Mirage short cage rear mech.
- Mavic Cosmos wheelset (blue matches the frame nicely) and Hutchinson tyres. The front hub has a little surface corrosion to the blue finish, but nothing serious.
- Thomson seatpost and Flite gel saddle (though I might keep the Flite and fit something else!)
- 3T stem and bars.
Not really sure what it's worth - I'd estimate at about £500? But I'm open to suggestions!
I'd be happy to post, but would obviously prefer collection.
If you're interested then feel free to email me at ajantom(at)googlemail(dot)com as I may not check my messages here straight away.
Here's a recent photo, and I can take more if required.
