>>1842004They are magnificent to ride though, of course they can't compete with modern equivalents in the same way a 67 Ferrari GTO can't compete with 2022 models, but it will still break your heart if you ever get the chance to drive one in anger.
Kleins feel like no other bike, so stiff and responsive, the acceleration and climbing is still up there with any modern bike, it's only on extreme downhill terrain that they struggle, like a good 911 the bike talks to you, the feedback you get through the pedals and grips is exceptional and the responsiveness is freaky, it does everything you want it to do.
They aren't just style over substance as one might expect from something so overtly 'pretty', they actually deliver a truly unique and high performance racing experience. Of course I'm speaking of the pre Trek models.
