Product Description
Klein Rascal 1993 Frame/Fork: 19" MC1 Stem/Bars - Top Gun Pink White Blue Dave Wilkins Restoration (Unridden)
This 1993 Rascal in Top Gun colors (almost, this one uses pink instead of red) is a fresh restore by Dave Wilkins aka KleinFreak, who was a painter for Klein in the 1990's, and his restorations are considered as good or better than the original stock paintjobs! This one includes the original color matched MC1 integrated handlebar and 1" stem in pink, XT HP-M730 headset, and original BB.
The Rascal was a step down from the Attitude in Klein's hierarchy. It was designed to be an aggressive and fast mountain bike, and extremely similar to the Attitude And Adroit. The main difference is a traditional 1" fork and headset, which provides a less rigid and jarring ride than the massively oversized Uni-Klein fork on the upper models. It even retains the Attitude/Adroit's horizontal dropouts.
Condition
Very close to pristine show bike condition! It was built up after the complete restoration, but never ridden. It's ONLY blemishes are 1) handlebar ends are crimped from bar ends (one barely, the other is more visible), 2) non-drive chainstay has a series of 3 ~1mm chips, 3) driveside chainstay has a 2mm chip on the upper inside corner near the bb, as well as the slightest axle marks on dropouts/fork ends.
