Good prince on 2003 Klein Q-Carbon?
Aluminum frame (why's it called Q-Carbon?), Ultegra components.
Is this still pre-Trek? Or a mass produced job? Still made in US?
Thanks!

The Q-Carbon was the lower end model, the Q-Pro the upper end model of the latest generation bikes before Klein's departure.
The Q-Carbon was decent. It had a sloping top tube where'as the Q-Pro had a level top tube. Its reasonably light and rides much better than the earlier Klein bikes, which had a reputation for being brutally stiff. If its in good shape and fits, then it should make a fine bike.
