Klein Bicycle

Klein 1998 Mantra Comp

I've always had an eye for unique things.  When I saw this bike in Tri-Tech Multiport it immediately caught my eye.   I now had a road bike so I decided to upgrade my hybrid bike that I was using for off road for a true off road experience with front and rear suspension.   This bike I got my money's worth as I had it for 22 years.  In 2005 I noticed disc brakes had become "a thing" so upgraded the front fork and wheel so I could have disc breaking in the front.   I had this bike from Ohio, thru Seattle, and even up until a year ago in California.
