Although I am not a fan of large-tubed aluminum frames, Klein are definitely collectible in my book. I also agree with [MENTION=206300]dia[/MENTION]bleScott that Klein did not have any low-end models. (Not that I'm sold on the argument that having lower end models makes the high-end models less collectible, either.) I always considered Kleins as being like Cannondales, but higher up the food chain and with cooler paint jobs.

Btw, I have a nice Klein fork (Klein logo on flat crown, Columbus tubing, Suntour superbe tips, original black paint, for ~57cm frame) I am not using. At the risk of breaking any "for sale" rules, I'd like to see it go back on a Klein frame that is missing the original fork. I believe it may be an early 80s Quantum Pro fork, but not sure how to confirm. If any Klein owners reading this thread need a fork, shoot me a PM and maybe we could work something out.
