Agree. And wrongly. The grand master of alu was and is Gary Klein. Klein, however, fell victim to Trek which he joined to get a network to compete against the superior marketing of Canondale.. Klein's genes live on.. The Quantum is clearly the grand dad of the Storck (which btw. started off as the Klein importer to Germany) and a number of others.. Old Kleins are cool.. Old Canondales are about as "sexy" as an empty can of Pepsi.. the coolest old Canondale product in my book was the Coda Magic Cranks--- which set the stage for Shimano to make hollow cranks--- but it was really a Coda and the Canondale follow-ups were pretty darn boring...
