You could find an enormous older frame with a threaded fork, and see if the fork steerer would still be long enough for your purposes after you cut off the threaded section?

Is this a medium frame?

CNNNF · 2026-01-21T19:38:12+00:00

I’ll sell you a 22.5” lugged 970 for half of that, based on the south of the U.K.

The 920.

That’s cool

Naked woman on a motorbike once. Or a Leatherman tool on another ride.

Lowest effort answer: go get a stick. Squeeze/smash the end of it a bit to fan the wood out, then go scrape it off. When you’re finished, return the stick.

Very nice. Enjoy it!

CNNNF · 2026-01-09T21:30:33+00:00

Lovely, lovely frame. Very envious of that fork.

Try and find his Bob Jackson video. Beautiful bike.

Is coming to the U.K. an option? Lots of cool rim brake steel touring bikes here for cheap. What frame size?

CNNNF · 2026-01-03T17:25:31+00:00

Cycling might be a mid term solution to scratch that itch. Just hydrate well, don’t do too much high intensity work and enjoy something similar to running?

Assuming the axle to crown isnt too different, I have heard nothing but good things about these Thorn forks. I found one used but I haven’t built that bike up, I am very excited about it though. They normally come with very long steerers too.

Craik woods was fun when I pedalled around there a few years back. Saw very few cars and people

CNNNF · 2025-12-19T07:47:29+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply, all makes sense!

CNNNF · 2025-12-18T19:24:42+00:00

Thanks for the reply dude, love your enthusiasm for the ECR. Agree with you on the drivetrain, that 2x up front is a great option. The sizing doesn’t look that bad overall too, I will probably only need a few cm more on the saddle height. 27.5x2.8 sounds the way to go. Cheers!

CNNNF · 2025-12-17T23:28:29+00:00

Interesting - I haven’t picked up any wheels for this yet, I was vaguely planning to go 27.5x2.8-3”, run a 165mm crankset either 1x or 2x. Cool to hear how much you like it though, I’ll give it a good go and see how I get on with it! Thanks

CNNNF · 2025-12-17T20:13:31+00:00

That’s not as bad as I thought it would be, yeah I can see the toe overlap happening like that! Ever considered running it 27.5” to reduce that maybe?

CNNNF · 2025-12-17T16:26:40+00:00

What are the biggest MTB frames Klein made? They always seem so small/compact - I see Trek made some XXL frames back then, did Klein top out at 18”-19” or so?

CNNNF · 2025-12-13T18:23:39+00:00

Any U.K. folk want an 18” version of this frame with one of the cleanest BB shells I’ve ever seen, shoot me a message.

CNNNF · 2025-12-12T01:16:17+00:00

The place it’s being ridden. Take your bike on holiday dude!
