Gah. I really want this but cannot, in any way, justify purchasing it.

Do it!

Do it

Out of curiosity, those dropouts look awkward. How does it work with the derailleur in front of the dropout?

You get the hang of them. I'm a very poor mechanic, owning a Klein has taught me the basics of needing to put the bike in the right gear before you take the wheel out. If I don't, it's impossibru.

Yes, I'm still on the lower slopes of the learning curve with regard to changing wheels on the Klein.

This Aeolus is gorgeous.

I have tried to persuade son #2 that this would be more fun than the Orbit that he currently has, but he is proving obstinate in his preference for awesome 531c.

@Two_Omegas Christmas is next month...

so you can easily justify a purchase like this :p

I think this frame needs some close ups taken in the sunshine.

I'm trying and failing to upload a picture from the 1997 KIein catalogue of this built up in all it's 650 Spinergy glory. I stole the picture by downloading it from here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/v/Manufacturer+Archive/Klein+Archive/Klein+Catalogues/Klein1997.pdf.html if anyone cares!

Yes, but it was my birthday this month and I've been bought a Talbot Pathracer F&F which I need to buy parts for. I also wanted to upgrade my current Klein to 11 speed. It all costs money.

This one?

Yes! That one. Maaan. Too many projects.

I feel bad. This thread is getting horribly derailed.

Someone buy the frame!

You buy it! I've got some spare 1997 dura ace bits...
