Date a Klein Quantum

[Oldcrofty]

I have a Klein Quantum that I was given about 10 years ago and want to age it. I believe it is circa 1995, what is the best way to get actual year of manufacture?

Well I can help with that.
Can you put a photo up here?
Serial number not necessarily a help.
But paint, frame structure and material all will help.
I have a Quantum ProCarbon which is Trek period (but still gorgeous).

Oh that‘s a bloody early one - no internal cable routing

very early 90s but prob 80’s

so….what’s the serial number? We know it’s Klein and not Trek-Klein and is early…..

Serial Number is 50395008

I think 1991 due to solid logo and logo placement and non integrated cables.
Serial number enigmatic but they often were.
Is serial number on edge of rear dropout or on bb underside?
