That bike reminds me of the good old days.. looks like maybe a '97/'98 klein? Maybe BullsEye cranks? Just has some cool bits, and its not often you see an SS full susser...

guess the majority of the crowd here dont rememember when a bike like this was something one would kill to own.

If you class old school as mid-late 90's then yeah it is. The bike is a Klein Mantra, were pretty nice as all Kelins are/were. Pretty light but the URT rear end wasn't the best at aborbing bumps esp. when you stood up.

But yeah, the bike is cool in my book... 8)

wah! that's strange, never seen anything like it before. Well despite it's unusualness i reckon it's pretty cool.

Yeah a Klein Mantra running SS. They were the first XC bike to run 7" rear travel! Of course it didn't work if you stood up or put too much weight on the pedals.
