Rat Klein pinnacle build - Selfmade parts content!

Coolest Klein ever. Bike of the month, year and decade.

I say this in all honesty, it's one of only two Klein's I've ever liked.

And this one? This one I LOVE.

Yeah. This is like project Binky, but for bikes. Or the a-team.
Da, da dada. Da da dah.

My first thought is Batman pedals. Definitely don't hate

@Thias Just to say an amazing thread and one of my favourites from the many many worthy posts in this community. Thank you and please continue posting.

Measure once cut twice. That's my motto. It always works!



Except when it doesn't.



Crap basket. Like... literally.

First, I would have to make a full set for myself tho...
I haven't yet.

Until then, I will use these:


A little skim pass on the lathe make the look mighty fine!


If only that kind of operation was available for 45 year old faces...

..my wife would maybe stop tellin me that I'm wasting my time...

Have you never seen "Logan's Run"?

 

[Thias]

I have. But I dont understand the reference? It's not like im killing them, am I? Just skimming. I swear!

Just read this through. Great start to the day.

Only, I’m thinking it was a “Rat”, it’s now more “Artisan”
Any clever ideas for the seatpost?

Brilliant thread, I just read the whole thing start to finish. Thanks for documenting every in such detail! Your fabrication skills are very impressive. I'd love a lathe myself but I don't have space to put it or time to use it. What's next after the pedal cages? The brake levers? Looking forward to the next episode!
