1993 Klein Rascal
1993 Klein Rascal
A 1993 Rascal that rides like a dream.  It doesn't ride any better than the Attitudes but my first impression of riding this bike was how good the handling and ride were.  Oh, it might have had something to do with riding a low-end bike all winter and taking this out on a nice spring day time riding a nice bike for the first time of the year.  It was like a new world opened up as it almost seemed as if I had forgotten how great a bike can be.  The Rascal is the same as the Attitudes from behind the headset.  Instead of using an oversized 1 9/16" pressed-in headset, this uses a standard 1" headset.

There is going to be some parts replaced on this one.  The current fork is a 1" threadless Judy, but I have a purple Klein rigid fork and might paint a Klein Mission Control stem to match the three color fade.  It has V-brakes installed (hence the rings that hold the cable currently routed externally).  Might try a V-brake adapter with this and see how they work or might go to cantilevers.  Either way, the cabling is going to be internally routed.  So there will be some changes on this one and new pictures will be up in a few weeks.
