Klein Mtb ( retro)

Now you're talking! I had a Mantra Comp back in the day. Such a good bike, bought it off a guy in a council flat in South London who chain smoked and said he had to sell it to buy his 2 year old boy a pit bull. Got it at a 'steal'...

 

People literally lost their minds when you turned up at a trail or a jump park with a Klein in killer orange.

 

Took that bike everywhere, UK, Europe back to Aus'. Uphill, down hill, cross country, single track and smashed 2 tons of hell out of it but still it rolled and rolled on. Never had the shocks serviced in the 5 years it was in my quiver and it never missed a beat. Just gave it a hose down, sprayed it with WD40 top to bottom and trued up the wheels it was fine!

 

It's still supposed to be in a mates garage in Thredbo. You could do a crazy ass build with that today! Gold.
