Short video of my pre 1997 Klein MTB collection

Hello everyone. Been a follower of the great RetroBIKE content on twitter and finally got registered today. Thought I would start by sharing a short video I recently shot of all the Klein's I have collected over the years. Thought you all would appreciate it.

Awesome collection!
How long have you been collecting Kleins?

Thanks DrGooGoo. I have been collecting them for the last 5-6 years. Worked in a bike shop in the late eighties, early nineties and fell in love with them. Rare handmade, hand painted art as far as I am concerned.

My fave paint is HLF. Nice collection

That ODI bar end plug was wonky at the end! What a collection and that was some spending spree! Do any of them get a mild thrashing in the dry?

I ride them all on paved bike paths but not on the trails. Modern full suspension 29ers are so much better.

I was gonna say, "you need a Mountain Klein" to complete your collection.
But maybe I shouldn't feed the addiction.

Attitude Dolomite is my favorite, but I'd also be happy with the green Rascal (cute bike).
They are all beautiful!
Cheers!

Beauty frames, but kinda' mediocre builds.

Blimey no wonder Klein prices have gone up …. they‘ve been swept up here and by the Law of Supply and Demand, the market price follows …
