Project: Klein Adroit Storm 1993 - last update!

Thanks gents for all the reactions!

@Renzo bedankt man!
@Neil waiting will pay of! His paintjob is perfect!
@thesneaker (and the rest) why no bar-ends?

Ok, I decided to do it all black.
Seatpost en saddle will also be Retro in the future. Still searching for a black Ringle Moby 31,6 post and a new Flite saddle. So if anyone can help me with that? Also I´m looking for Grafton Re-Entry levers in black :roll:

One question considering the shifters. It will be 9 speed, but shell I use the Paul Thumbies with the Shimano Ultegra shifters or should I take Sram X0 Trigger Shifters 9sp Carbon or the X0 Twister Shifter?
All ideas are welcome!

Glad you decided to go all black, it'll look amazing.

Perhaps this would be a nice addition.....

EDIT: just realised it has a broken part....... Would be difficult to replace.

Bike Pride of Europe? You wouldn't believe how often I looked at the pricelist and speclist of your company! I was never even close to buying anything though, cause I didn't had the money for all the nice 'non shimano and titanium stuff' you sold.

Awesome build too. I think the paul stuff looks great together, but the Marinovative is a bit more exclusive. Either way, you might think of building a second bike to fit the stuff that's not going onto the Klein

Beautiful paint job there by Jon Rock. Would really like to see how the bike looks when it's all completed.

@benbonty: wait for just one week and I hope to have a Paul Front Derailleur

@Rio: That's nice! What you did, was the same I did with my employees; drooling in MTB Action, Bike, 0800-BikePro an offcourse in our own stock, those where the good day's

@dancingjack: You have to wait a couple of weeks, but you will see the final result!

Still one question to be answered:
It will be 9 speed, but shell I use the Paul Thumbies with the Shimano Ultegra shifters or should I take Sram X0 Trigger Shifters 9sp Carbon or the X0 Twister Shifters?

If you're using the Paul's you can't use Sram trigger shifters only the Shimano compatible twisters

I compliment your choice of components. Looking forward to the finished product!

Re: adroit

If you're using the Paul's you can't use Sram trigger shifters only the Shimano compatible twisters

and tumbies are the way to go in this case anyway

but why 9 speed? Why not M900 shifter pods on some STX (or nicer if you can find them) brackets?

Wow, those ti brakes are pretty cool.
