Bikes: 2 Centurian Ironman, Rossin Genisis, Greenspeed GT3, Stowaway (wife)

I owned a Pulse Race that was in excellent shape but in a small size which was way too small for me. I bought it for my wife but she would not ride it. The bike sold originally for around $1100 and I could not sell it for $300 here. I finally traded it for a Miyata 610 that was also too small but also in great condition. The bike was quite light and a nice rider but most folks have never heard of Klein and would buy a well used Trek or Specialized for $300 instead of this Klein.

My take on it was Mountain bikers wanted more modern bikes and the general bike buyers just didn't recognize Klein. It was an outstanding bike but I will never buy one to flip again unless it is real cheap and I only paid $125 for this one. The components was worth way more than the price.
