Klein Bikes

Here is my Klein Q pro (I know it’s coming from trek, still the nice colour way and a superb bike to drive (not as good as a principia tho)

Tried to keep it all American, awaiting a shorter zipp sl stem and might put some zipp wheels in instead of the corimas

That is lovely, does the saddle come in a plain black version though?!

Still loving the Quantum, took it out to pay tribute to the legendary Steve Abraham of One Year Time Trial fame.

@HubertEverts That beautiful.

I also have a Trek one, such a nice ride and still my go-to bike to climb on.

One from the weekend. Still planning on changing the bars to something less bendy:

I don't need any more bikes, but if I did...

anyone got a Quantum in 54cm/55cm that they are thinking of off loading?

Sorrynotsorry to post this again, this time with fresh mud flecks from yesterday’s ride in the sunshine.

Beautiful frame! I have an identical one but in 55cm.

Here's my Quantum in winter workhorse guise, getting ever rattier.

I just love this colour, could you wash this bike at slightly too high a temperature please?

To what end? It's not a mood ring. Might be though. Next time I'll try to crank the temp up for you, it might shrink...

Edit*

But I've seen a bunch of these 98's QP on FB Klein group in 56-57cm, try to convince one of the owner of those to sell theirs!

They're brilliant bikes so I would imagine they'd tell a figure pulled of of their arse.

Hmmm decisions, decisions, decisions...

Not sure what decisions you speak of but that's one of my favourite builds on here.

Thanks man. I'm contemplating over selling it, the thought crosses my mind every now and then.

Work in progress here - does anybody know the max size tyre that a quantum can take?

Currently finishing up two Klein Projects I started last year. A 1998 Klein Quantum Pro in Jade Chameleon and a 1997 Klein Quantum Race in Caribbean Linear Fade. Both size 57, although I measured them and they both measure about 56cm c-c, toptube & seattube. Curious. Anyway what follows are a couple of pictures of the process. They are both not 100% finished as of yet. The Quantum Pro was upgraded from a 9-speed Shimano Ultegra 6500 to a 11-speed Campagnolo Chorus 2014 groupset and the Quantum Race was built up with 8-speed Shimano 600 Tricolor and got a 10-speed Campagnolo Centaur groupset from 2010 I believe. Both are fitted with a Campagnolo Vento wheelset from different generations. The Quantum Pro is about 99% done. Just waiting on some little bits (purple bottle cage, purple seatpost clamp, purple endcaps, new pedals and saddle). The Quantum Race still needs new cables & housings, a new bar tape (I am thinking pink or celeste), chain and pedals.
