There is something strangely alluring about that bald Klein.

But I am waiting for a Grellow fat to be entered where the photo represents the colour like the three way pic earlier in the thread.

Sorry for the mess in my house

Haha, classic - I'm definitely going to refer to it as 'bald' from now on!

We need some more Yeti's though - they're starting to get outnumbered... And if anyone enters a Klein with a properly crazy paintjob, that would make my day

...and the Campy looks REAL nice on the Klein above.

Furtardo etc

Beautiful bikes, love them all equally.

Here is my humble entry, 1989 Wicked Fat Chance with a modern Igleheart segmented fork. Build is straight forward but very functional.

I've ridden (and currently own) each of the models so I thought i'd add a general comment about what makes them special.

Yeti-Very stout frames that handle like a Cadillac on the trails, smooth and predicable. BMXer meets the mountain.

Fat Chance-light and snappy frame that just dissapears under the rider, geomerty was dialed. Build quality is flawless. Roadie meets the mountain.

Klien-fat sculpted tubes, eye popping paint jobs. Ride is very stiff and accurate handling. NASA meets the mountain.

So far -it's got to be Klienrenzo's purplish Klien - does look the bizniz - look out for my Rasta themed Klien Jamaica Gold when its completed next spring/summer. As for Yeti's - can't knock 'em till I ride em - although I much prefer bikes with classic and simple lines.

AGREED.. (by the way, amazing Wicked )
