My Klein Mantra carbon project

[Retro Spud]

Still think this is one of the finest examples of a Mantra I’ve ever seen

Hi again Fotorat,

The colour is sedona orange in carbon....really hard to find in that colour

This one has been sitting in the garage for awhile and decided to start the rebuild. I bought this frame on Craigslist about 7 years ago for $150 US. I have added the Fox front suspension recently Bontrager RXL rims and XTR rear Der. Enjoy...
I will post Pics. of progress..

great bike! I just picked up an identical frame and I am wondering how do you fit modern forks that are 1 1/8?

I think you need an adaptor and may I know where you can get them?

Cheers!

Interested to see how this comes off. Looking great so far - wish i could find some XTR shifters in that condition! Good luck with the build

I recommend to Google for a "1″ threaded to 1-1/8″ threadless conversion headset". There are many manufacturers and shops you can choose from.

I used a 1.5 to 1 1/8 reducer from problem solvers.
