I read a bike shop review of them once and the owner liked it. Didn't seem to be much special about them except for that bumper thing in the monostay; I'd be concerned that would dry out and be un-replaceable.
I've got a pdf of an old catalogue if you want it.

Klein catalog
They didn't sell many of them - 2006 was the only year they made them, and the last year a Klein was produced (except for some carbon fiber contract Kleins).

Excellent Bikes
These soft tail bikes (Trek Pilot as well) can put ANY of todays 2022 “complaint” road bikes to shame! For like $700-900Cdn used!
A full 1.0” of r. wheel travel.
2020-2022 Cdale Topstone Carbon is 30mm but thats combined with the seat tube flex so the actual rear wheel travel is less than 30.
I had one as a daily rider in Toronto.
sadly it got stolen.
also sad was the max rear tire clearance was 26C.
Higher head tube for comfort.
zR9000 gradienf tubing.
Carbon Seatstays. Flexing alloy cstays.
internal routing.
now I have a Specialized Roulux soft tail feels abit more travel but 35-38c max! Handmade in Taiwan. Discontinued.
Gorgeous. $800cdn used.
waiting for a full carbon version w 2”+ travel.
They need to make one!!!
