KDM thank you!
surfingpolzeath i think so I have an idea for another thread about my "entry level" Klein...

Very nice!
One of few Kleins I've seen with its own theme and not dripping in Ringlé
And I particularly love the forks. Not seen a pair of those for such a long time, and none so exceptionally mint!

Good job

regan_ev, Giom6 I'm glad to hear that

I just installed a Ringle Moby seatpost
Syncros on photos is too modern - newest logotype.

Haha! I suppose that makes it a proper Klein now though

Now it's 100% "Klein style"
But I have another one still w/out Ringle - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=332344

I've done cosmetic changes in cockpit (I wanted more black color) - NOS Tioga Mountaineer Carbo & black anodized brake levers.


Now it weighs 22.48lbs (10.20kg) with modern Shimano SPD pedals and standard tubes.
