Heck you could put a Look ergo stem on it if you needed to.
Actually, I looked at Klein's website and reviewed my Pinarello's geometry, and compared my 57cm traditional with their 58cm compact.
-Top tube length was identical.
-Seat tube angle was 72.5 for the Pinarello, 73.5 for the Klein.
-Head tube was 73 for Pinarello, 73.5 for Klein.
-Chainstay for the Pinarello is 40.9cm, Klein's is 42.4.
-Fork rake for the Pinarello is 43mm, Klein's is 48.
-I couldn't find a head tube length for the Pinarello, but looking at how the frames are measured they seem comparable.
So, in my little bit of experience, this says to me that you get shorter stays and less fork rake, i.e. quicker handling, but as far as top tube length and other fit-related things the frames are pretty similar.
Hip, can you measure the head tube on your Klein and tell me what size it is? That would close the loop...
