Forgive my ignorance, but what makes this, or indeed any Klein, so special?
Gary Klein was a trailblazer with Alu, radpaint, system integration. Basically everything Cannondale became famous for, but without teh cracking.

Plus they're no longer in production and were bought out, so from a collector fetish POV you have a cut off point for "proper" ones.
Basically, if you made a list of all the things you need to make something desirable to collectors, they've got it in spades. Such quality. Much innovative. Many desirable. Etc.

But anyway, bikes that get ridden > bikes that get posed with. Old frame with modern group is slave2max.
Don't fuck about, Dura Ace 9000 with 55/42 DA SRM.
And your Hed Stingers.
