That font started in 1992, but since it's a repaint that doesn't mean much.
Can't help with the bottom bracket and spindle issue, but Phill Wood would be a good place to start. I'd appreciate hearing your results.
Thanks. The wheel base matches up with the Quantum Road wheel base.
I've been doing a bunch of research the last week and even came across an old manual for pre 96 Klein bikes. I realized that I need to decide on the crankset before I can get the correct spindle.
I'm torn between getting older Shimano Ultegera / Dura Ace or Campy Chorus stuff. It's been so long since I've been on anything but a mountain bike, I don't really have an opinion on either one.
I can see that finding parts for it are going to be an adventure in itself; a strange seat post size, 27.4mm, the rear dropouts are space just barely 126mm and I'm not going to coldset an AL frame.
I didn't realize that index shifting was available on downtubes, I'm tempted just to stick with friction shift.
