Hey All~~~
same *48 year old-school mt biker. Ready to retire my 15 year old Klein
Attitude hard tail for full suspension* that posted earlier.
I can lay my hand's on a friend's Klein Mantra for $400. Not sure the
vintage. Prolly circa '00 or so. I've rdden it/ not sure it's upgrades,
but they swapped out the rear shock... . . the bike was out of trig
(front shocks felt like junk) but it could be tuned up sweet again
but my Q? how good a bike was the Klein Mantra? To get me in the FS
game for $400 (plus as much for replacement parts and upgrades over
the next few months), is this a better bike than what $1000 buy me
today
more key- how good was the rear suspension design of the Mantra? Modern
real suspension far better? I read somewhere the Mantra was an obsolete
design..
thanks!!! peace out
