This is NOT the bike in question, but the frame is the spitting image. Same color and graphics. Yep, it has downtube shifters.

Regarding Sante group, not that I know of. The bike in your link is a Performance model... the touring version - they sold a lot of them as bare frames... 1990 +/- a year.

Klein got in to the business with custom frames and continued offering custom models almost until the end, custom geometry, custom paint, custom cable routing... comparing them to Giant is just not valid on any level.
