91 Klein Backfire Adroit ,Nearly done

My last build or rebuild
My Klein Attitude hanging in the loft at home - one day I'll get a refurb as the paint is faded (it does have a brand new full XCPro group though including greaseguard hubs and pedals, MD chainset etc, correct Klein tyres and grips - so it will also be great again one day when repainted, but obviously I want to do it properly when I do and some might: say leave it factory original as it is. A tricky decision - but its always nice to see them. Your Adroit looks the business 👍 mk.1 XTR M900 would be nice 1666381912731.webp

Made a few changes
Fitted a Cooks Bros RSR instead of the Grafton Joystix
And changed to Nos Death grip tyres instead of the Nos Ritchey Alpha/Omega combo
and an all Black Speed needle saddle
