Klein Lovers

I know there are some Klein lovers in NorCal BF.

I just saw this one on Craigslist. I am not the seller. The paint job is pretty cool.

That's really cool.

Not sure what the deal with the dropouts is, but hey, it's different.

It is my size (ish). Too bad I really don't need another aluminum 'n' plastic wunderbike.

That was up a few weeks ago too, I don't remember if he lowered the price since then.

My History of Klein Road Bikes page.

The "inner cable" sleeves are only for routing the cables - once you got them in, you take the sleeves back out.

On the Klein Attitudes and Adroit pre-Trek, the sleeves stays in and is used to route the cable after exiting the frame, for both the brake and FD/RD cables. Not sure about other models.

If only the bike for sale was was a pre-Trek model (before 1996).

I apologize for not explicitly saying I only know about the road bikes.

I LOVE Klein road bikes, I personally have a Quantum myself. I actually had it up for sale on both sacramento and sf craigslist, had a few contacts for it but was just too stubborn to give it to someone who just wanted a bike and didn't care if it was a Klein.
Now I think I'll keep it, I mean the serial number is 0007 and all, maybe it'll be a collectors item in the future.

DiabloScott, I ran across your site awhile back...helped me out a lot! thanks!
