Vintage 90's Klein Pulse Comp Mountain BikeSize 21" (Klein Sizing - Large)26" Wheels and Tires
NO RESERVE AUCTION! Bids Start at a Penny!
This is an excellent, partially restored mountain bike that is 100% rideable! Lightweight aluminum and BIG tubes! Check out the "before" photo below! This bike has not been stripped and painted. The original paint was carefully cleaned and polished at some point and some worn parts were upgraded/replaced with era-correct components.... Original Judy XC had elastomers that had liquified and were unfortunately, too difficult to remove completely. Thus the fork was upgraded to a slightly newer '97/98 Judy XC unit which still works welll! White wall tires were swapped for something more era specific and importantly, trail worthy. Original XT and LX drivetrain shifts great and the old school cantilever brakes still stop (sorta) ;).
If you are a VRC (Vintage, Retro, Classic) collector, you know how hard it is to find unmolested or abused bikes in a common, useable size. Most of the medium and large bikes are in peoples collections already and the small, extra small, extra large or extra extra large seem to be the only ones available most of the time. Even then, finding one in good shape is even more difficult. This is a size 21". Gary Klein didn't really measure bikes like the "usual" bike companies. This size is best suited for riders or collectors in the 5'10" to 6'1" range give or take. Geometry chart is below.
Please see photos for components, condition, and details. Please note that we can not tell you if this bike will fit you or not.
