So I picked another bike up yesterday, mainly for some of the parts that were on it, but its a '98 (erm sorry admins I know this is <'97 forum) KLEIN Pulse. It has a fair few areas where the paint has bubbled off but looking at it I really like the design and 'look' of it, it also fits me well.
So I'm actually now toying with the idea of having it dipped and re-painted and building it? I know these are no where near the value or desirability of pre-Trek Kleins and it's also a lower end model frame but it came up at 1665g on my scales (with steel h/set cups) so maybe 1600g, which I feel is fairly light but feel free to correct me on this presumption?
My only other real concern is how it rides, I can only assume with stays as beefy as they are, its gonna have one seriously stiff arse end on it, however it's not going to get ridden much.
Whats peoples views on these, should I inject £ into this or just flip it on?
