Love it! I miss seeing Kleins around -- not sure I could look good enough to match the frames, but always appreciated them.

I think Missy Giove passed me on a downhill with one of those rear Tiogas. Very distinctive sound.

Amazing! For a relatively main stream brand Klein always had the best paint, and in comparison with new stuff, still does.
