To the guys moaning about welds. Ok they aren't pretty. But this bike has been made at begining of 80's or even earlier? Correct me if I'm wrong.
At that time Cannondale have sold bike accessories. There wasyn't such a thing like aluminium MTB bike, there wasyn't even well known technology.
Klein still had aluminium bikes in develop stage so it is probably one of first if not very first aluminium MTB with frame design not seen before.
Bloke who's attempt weld an aluminium bike in the shed at that time must been a genius or either crazy.
Given that background I think it is a truly revolutionary bike.
And in opposite to perfect welded Manitous battered but still uncracked :shock:
