Identify the Klein on Seinfeld

[mkaavin]

kramer rides it here for a second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aHczo047k8

it would have to be a 1989 or earlier model

Thanks, great clip!

I have seen some comments about this being Michael Richards bike irl, but looking at the clip it seems to be way too small for him.

I have every episode and can take screen caps if it helps

There are two different Kleins. Could be different models but they're the same color

in the Apology (final season) it comes down off the wall. Doesn't appear to have a name badge on the top tube (see attached)

Thanks a lot!

What would be great is if you have a pic that shows the drop outs. That would give us a clue I think.

yeah I've read that before too but he is very tall and would need a huge bike..i doubt that Klein is big enough for Jerry either

I'll see if that's possible.. besides the two episodes i've posted caps/video from, it just sits on the wall

here's a pic of the drop outs with a bonus backwards fork the fork ended up backward at some point towards the end up season 4. at the start of season 5 the Klein was replaced with a cannondale for a few episodes

edit: here's an image i found from another thread here on this site

Yer all wrong... tiwas a cannondale... :twisted:

Looking at the dropouts it should be either a Mountain Klein or a Pinnacle.

I always believed that the Mountain Klein only came in red colour but this link tells me that I'm wrong.

It even has a picture that claims to be a Mountain Klein in the same color as the "Seinfeld bike". But I have also seen both Pinnacles and Rascals in similar green color.

Anyone knows how to tell the difference between a Mountain Klein and a Pinnacle?

What happened to Carsten?

What happened to Carsten?

He's doing good, still dispensing Klein knowledge in a few places.

it's a pinnacle (not horizontal drop out…)
