EEC!

Good to see New Zealand is still residing in the 1970's!

Splitting would be a crime against Kleins

I am no so sure that is the correct fork for the frame if the frame is a 1997. That fork appears to be one of the shorter travel (63mm) 96 forks, when this frame should have the 75mm travel version with large black stickers on the lowers.

True, it could be a late 96er purchased in 97 which would make it the first production year for the Mantra. My frame certainly matches the 'all red and only available in medium' description of the 97 but I am unsure if this is the same for the 96.

Yup...keeping the frame/fork/bars together of course, so still in one big lump

I think it makes sense to split considering it was not a stock/period build to begin with.
