The anti Klein brigade.

Not anti-Klein but a certain 'lightest bike in the world' (or at least Barcelona) thread made me regard them a bit negatively. I don't have the experience or qualifications to have a technical opinion but as with a lot of things my preference is for 'everyman' brands or full on niche/custom.
 
I’ve never understood the dentist joke. They earn decent money but not that much compared to many other professionals or business owners.
I've always suspected that orthodontics is far more lucrative than dentistry. And they don't have to do the nasty stuff like pulling teeth, they just send patients to the dentist if that's required.
 
I don't know many dentists.

But the sons and daughters of dentists I know are all snotty rich kids masquerading as poverty-stricken creative-types.

Not sure what bikes they prefer to ride tho.
 
Hi,

Can't agree more.

Personally, I was trying to stay a bit away of any kind of Klein bikes, now for almost 30 years, because some of the buyers, at least some of the original buyers back-in-time, had been a specific type of person or character I'm not looking up a lot. Sometimes rather not interested to buy a great ride for sports activities but to buy something to raise attention or polishing an image.
Anyway, instead of starting a fight, let me share a nice picture, hopefully for a laugh.
From an underwear brochure from 1995, to me those guys look like a dentist and his wife, would you agree?
Of course the accessorizes have to fit to this scenario

I wish she was my dentist.
