Yup, we have talked about this before Waldo It was going to be a Cannondale R600 or the Klein for me. After seeing the chunky welds on the Cannondale, I said no way... I then talked to Gary Klein himself about his welds, and he told me the unfinished welds of a Quantum Race (lowest cost ~$400), were much smoother and looked nearly fillet brazed. The Quantum Pro on the other hand, had hand finished welds that were sanded smooth to a fillet finish, it was a thing of beauty. That Cherry Red paint was so deep in finish, a person could drown in it if stared at for too long

He was in Chehalis, WA. at the time of my build.
