Please Help Klein Mantra Carbon Pro in Flip Green Purple

[boba fett]

Hi and just saying hello to the forum, as now im getting old, i love the old bikes i used to ride

So i need some help from the Guru's - I have stumbled across a near new condition original Klien Mantra Carbon Pro.

I need some help to Understand, its year and value. It is quite incredible condition, in the flip green and purple colour.

What i do know about the bike is it is original (probably not the seat post) and on the original tyres and brake blocks.

Apart from a couple of marks, she is mint.

The wheels are Chris King, badged Bontrager and the braking surface is as new, it has a strange set up with the Shifters and computer, forks are Manitou SX TI ?? ill try and add a photo

Any help would be really appreciated

Sorry about the pictures it was artificial light!!!!!

Not a fan of the mantra, but I can tell you its a late one with the updated swing arm that doesn't suffer failure like the originals did.

Try in the 98 section were most if these live... Were you asking fir it's value to buy or sell ? Anyway try the 98... I quite like it myself

I have acquired the bike so not to buy, just have no idea on its value, year, or if there are loads of these around, on the face of it, it would appear a rare bike in original condition

Its just i was shocked on its originality and condition, just need some helps

Thanks for the kind remarks i understand the Mantra is an aquired taste!!
