My 90/91 Klein Pinnacle :-)

[Wingmanrob]

Here's my beloved Klein that I've had since new. It's not the Pinnacle Elite, just the regular version. I bought a small red frameset wayyyy back, which was too small for me and I managed to put a small crack in the seat tube, after a bit of fighting I managed to get a replacement under warranty and at a better size (Large). Once I had the ok on the replacement I paid £175 for the backfire paint scheme and here it is. Bits and bobs have been added over the years and I'm sure some will disprove of the really new bits, but oh well, it's functional and still gets used today.

Note the widget on the seatstays that allowed me to fit V-brakes.

Certainly is, and it's a little brighter than the photo indicates.

The guys at USE made it for me, it's actually converted from the cable thingy from their suspension fork brace, and simply screws into one of the rack braze on mounts. Very simple and effective.
