My attempt at a neo-retro Klein, the aim was to go "all American" but I ended up fitting parts that work and were more readily available. It's set up 1x as is the trend these days.
Bike rides brilliantly, very stiff and fast. Most similar to maybe a caad10 or 12 in fit and feel.
Size "61" but both the seat tube and top tube are 59.5cm
It's a beautiful blue with lots of sparkles/lustre to the paint work (something Klein were well known for!)
In generally lovely condition, some slight oxidisation on the top tube cable routing (pictured) there's a small amount of tyre rub on rear stays and a chip on the fork that's had the wrong touch up paint put on by the previous owner. it's a darker blue but it's pretty small. For a frame that's ~25 years old it's not doing too bad!
Spec is:
•Ritchey classics bar and stem. Old white tape, can include fresh bar tape installed in a colour of your choice.
•No-name quill to ahead converter
•Campagnolo record headset
•Thomson masterpiece seatpost w/ old comfy turbo saddle.
