I recently purchased a 2001 QProCarbon...just love the paint job. After having ridden carbon/Allez,Kestrel,Kuota,Bianchi,Trek,Giant...the Klein is one of my two favorites. Tight and stiff ride but refined and comfortable, a steeper seat tube that required a set back seat post for me. I was sooo surprised that an alum bike could be so sweet. As they say to Mikey..."try it , you'll like it."
