Finally got around to taking new pics of my Klein:
I know posting two pics is a faux pas in this thread but it's the paint job that sold me on the frame.

Haven't posted in a while. This is how the trek sits right now. I bought a selle italia sionic saddle a couple weeks ago and absolutely love it.

That's still a hot Klein. Yellow is such a nice accent color to black. I prefer the traditional geometry like yours to my compact geo.

The chainrings on the Ultegra crankset were worn and needed to be replaced. Rather than buying new rings I just replaced the whole crankset. Also these Ritcheys are compact and even use the same octalnk bottom bracket. I think I'm likely to benefit more from the lower range the compacts give me. I don't think I've ever gone fast enough to efficiently use 53x12 with the standard Ultegras. The Ritcheys are also like 90g lighter, not that I care and IMO look way more badass

This weekend I finished changing things and tuning my winter / nasty weather road bike, and put ~70 miles on it in nice warm but misty autumn weather.
