GLOSS BLACK
this colour was an special order and cost additional 1000 bucks back in the days of 1993 .
I accept that a lot of the allure of a Klein is due to the detail of the paintwork but I am shocked they had the audacity to charge an additional $1000 for what looks to be a simpler less expensive to create finish than the standard off the shelf model.
I remember a thread on here a good while back suggesting (a little unkindly) that Kleins were the yuppies choice of bike, however the suggestion that a paint colour that was standard on many manufacturers base models was sold at a huge premium as a special edition buys credit for that suggestion.
Please don't get me wrong it is a cool bike but $1000 extra for a gloss black paint job....crazy in a distasteful way!
