New to the forum....so pardon the lack of retro knowledge
A friend of mine recently popped round to mine to get his M3 welded :roll:
He saw my klein as it was down from the shed getting a dusting down and suggested I check this place out.
A bit of history .... First proper bike shop I went into when I was a nipper had one of these on display and I fell in love. Fast forward 10yrs later I have one in my hands. I know the mantra was a love or hate bike and its not as old as some of the lovely bikes on here
. However im looking for some help to making sure I have the time/ date of the parts I have built the bike up with in the correct ball park.
Specs include
mantra frame
pace rc36 pro class
middleburn rs3's pace outer and middle rings modern middleburn inner.
thomson stem and post
hope hubs (blue flanges)
answer hyperlite bars
xtr 950 levers
xt shifters
xtr951 v's
xtr 952 mech
CK headset
ritchey logic pedals
xt 8spd cassette
I think the rear mech is out as it has 9 spd on it. the rest I dont know I purchased them from other forums etc when I thought they looked like they were from the correct year etc.
Any help would be much appreciated.
