I don't know about MTBs, but Klein didn't make any low-end road bikes - they generally had three versions for every model year; a DA, an Ultegra, and a 105... there were also some special function versions like Kirsten for women, and Performance for touring. They were always small production frames with an appeal to a niche market.
