That's my main climbing road bike, this yellow crazy machine is faster than my ex modern Cannondale full carbon bike

I am very happy to have operated the legendary french HURET Jubilée rear derailleur from the seventies on an indexed system.
French CLB brakes calipers are very lightweight to and they come from the late seventies.
Italian PMP crankset come from the nineties

I love the old Klein MTBs with their vibrant colours and smooth finishes and it's great to see they carried on with this theme with their road bikes although thinking about it it was probably the other way round but any way i just love looking at your wonderful bike as it's got the styling i was after bitd when i never new an mtb existed and now seeing your lovely machine has given me the kick up the bagk side i needed so not yet but i will be on the look out for one of these probably next year after i've sorted the bikes out i all ready have ..

Re:

Great build, I had the same frame in the same colour and loved it! My latest bike is a damn near mint condition 1994 Bridgestone RB-1 that i bought from someone that had bought it brand new and stored in their garage, lugged steel with full 1994 spec components and even though it is only 2 years older than my Klein was, it feels like it from a different millennium. The Klein rides like a modern race bike, I had 10 a speed Dura-Ace 7800 group set and 31.8mm ergo bars, it was stiff, light and amazingly fast, I loved it! After living in Japan for so many years, I inevitably rode a lot of ex-Keirin bikes and even got to ride and meet some pro Keirin riders on open track event days in Kawasaki and so developed a love for lugged steel, which is why I have the RB-1 now, a lack of space also limits being able to buy lots and lots of bikes, so I limit myself to one bike per main genre; downhill, cross-country, road. I wish I lived in California, so many old Kleins out there in mint condition! I actually run a Klein Facebook group, which is kinda sad now that i don't actually have a Klein!

Hurret rd works with sram shifters and nine cogs of an 11 speed cassette never would have guessed that. How did discover this.

Very nice looking Klein!! I am just starting to build a Quantum pro burgundy/blue fade. Kleins are great bikes.

Love it!
Nice to see someone breaking rules and mixing and matching parts.

bizarre installation, I like the final result.

I really don`t understand your choice of parts on this KLEIN QP ...I really don`t.

Love the frame set. Looks a great bike.

by the way: Whats wrong with the "Quantum Pro" logo on the top tube? Did someone put the lettering as decals on it?

Cheers
