Hi all....its been awhile.
I had a bit of a fright when my Catalyst was stolen about a month ago. Thinking that I would never get it back I started thinking about a new retro build and came across this lovely 1996 Klein Pulse 2 (pre Trek). Slowly accumulating parts for it. Going to go RaceFace for the cranks and headset and XTR 950 for the drivetrain and v brakes. I have some Ringle hubs laced to Mavic 618 rims on the way and I'm probably going to be sprinkling some requisite Syncros bits on this. Also decided on a lovely Rock Shox FSX fork after briefly contemplating a rigid fork.
I almost forgot how spendy this hobby is.... .
And then after accumulating all of these bits the Police then went and found my Catalyst so now I am in an N+1 situation but I'm not complaining.
BTW Mrs. CanuckinBoston is not amused.
