Klein Pulse Race, ready to go with period components - SOLD

Klein Pulse Race vintage mountain bike from late 90s (1997 I think) - excellent condition, recently serviced, ready to ride. Small frame.

Usual age related scuffs and paint chips but overall wonderfull condition with excellent period components.

• Lightweight frame in awesome day glow orange. A few paint chips but no dents and all original stickers in place.

• Rock Shox Indy XC forks

• Shimano STX RC mechs, Sugino cranks, Wellgo metal pedals, STX RC rear hub, System 2 front hub, Keith Bontrager rims, Shimano V-Brakes, X-Lite XC bars on an X-Lite stem.

Rides beautifully, great fun to rip around on. I won't lie, earlier in lockdown I went on a Seinfeld binge and became obsessed with Kleins and then just had to have one. Box ticked. My plan was to throw on some gumwall tyres and tweak some of the components for a cool period build, but after a few rides I've realised the frame is just too small for me so not worth going further with it.

Asking £215 - just trying to get back what it owes me. There's probably people here with a better gauge of what these are worth so please correct me if I'm wrong.

Bike is in Cambridge CB23, socially distanced viewing available and I can ride it down to the train station to meet you if that helps. I come to Shoreditch/Dalston for work every so often so can bring it with me for viewing/delivery there. Am probably coming down this Friday 12th if that helps.

Have also got it listed on FB marketplace, images can be found there. Cheaper price for LFGSS members and happy to bring it to London for one of you guys, both things not offered to the wizards on FB!

Hey @x19, may I ask why your username is X19?

@Jackytwoshoes I've had a Fiat X1/9 for 16 years, was my first car and I still have it back in Aus. Bit of a shitbox if I'm honest but I really love it, and I'm not knowledgeable enough about bikes to pick something clever! https://anygivenreason.com/2017/10/road-tripping-in-an-old-fiat-what-could-possibly-go-wrong/

@x19 that's ace- some lovely photos! I look forward to reading.

I have one too- used it as a daily for 7 years in Scotland, now stored in a barn in Essex until I can afford to get some welding done. It's the one car I'll never sell.

Drove it to Turin from Glasgow to visit the Fiat Lingotto factory, hillclimbed in it, all sorts of adventures..

@Dropped.Bars your flavour Klein?

oooh sadly not, good heads up though.

enjoyed that read dude. big fan of the x1/9.

glws of the klein. have a free bump

I always enjoy seeing Jerry’s Klein hanging up in the background. Does it change at some point between series? Can’t remember if there’s a bike in his apartment at all when they do the reunion on Curb.

Haven't been on for a few days, sorry guys.

Klein is now (sadly) sold.

@Jackytwoshoes that's awesome! So cool. I've got a dream (it'll likely remain that...) of bringing mine out for a summer and doing just that, going to Lingotto would be so cool. I went there a few years ago, talked the shopping mall security guard into letting me on the roof. Very special place! Thanks for sharing your X :)

@horsee1 yeah it's there for most of it but it does change - I'm watching Season 7 now and it's there. Apparently it was stolen during production and was swapped for some kind of Cannondale (I think). I'm a bit of a car nerd too and I love seeing all the Porsche and Skip Barber stuff hanging about the apartment. I heard a podcast with Jeff Zwart who shot all of the Porsche advertising photos in the 90s and he said it was such a thrill when he tuned in to Seinfeld and saw one of his photos hanging on Jerry's wall. So cool.
