Here's a sweet 1989 Quantum - a Chehalis bike - I picked up off my local CL last summer. It was in the possession of the second owner who bought it as a garage queen at a yard sale. My seller thought it a bad fit so he sold it to me shortly after acquiring it.

It was dirty and had raggedy original vinyl decals which came off easily enough. The rest of the bike, showing little use, simply underwent my usual military-grade refurbishment. Everything good they say about the durability of the Klein paint jobs is true.

Speaking of decals, since the originals were not clear-coated, I knew I could have some fun with the replacements, as you see them here. When I sell the bike (it's a bit small for me) it will be easy enough to install new originals for the purist.

Size 56 cm ctc, full Dura Ace; it's a beauty in the making. I had the camera out today so I thought I'd take a few shots. Only needs a chain and a test ride to be road ready. I know the seat looks high but it's set up for my long legs and there's plenty of post below grade.

Interesting serial number is Q00A0.

Hope you enjoy it. Double clicks get big pics.
