Very nice find!
I think more mid '80's then late.
They changed name in '87 IIRC?

Re:
Beautiful!
What happens to it now? I ask because I've got an eye out for a small eighties bike for my dad's birthday - seems that he got the bug back at Icon-o-Classic!
Cheers!

Re:
Now it will get booked in and checked over, any parts that need refurbishing or fixing will be sorted by our volunteers and then it will probably end up for sale if it doesn't end up in our rolling museum!
Not sure what it would be worth so will do some research, but all funds go back into the charity to support our various cycling projects locally, but we have a few beauties that are kept as rolling museum and educational bikes as well and an early Klein might be ideal for this!

Re:
I'd just give it a clean and get it up on e-bay as is to be honest - it will certainly go well
I'd hate to think that some well meaning volunteers "upgrade" some of the parts on this and dump off the original bits 'cause they look a bit grotty.
Or get in the mix with the pressed in BB

Re: Re:
Would totally understand if you wanted to keep it for posterity, but I'd be very happy to take it as is *if* I can afford it - have to admit I'm utterly clueless on it's value.
So that's a lot of 'ifs', and apologies if I'm coming across hawkish, but eighties bikes that small don't crop up all that often and I can really see my old fella on it - he's a massive Klein fan!
Anybody want to scare me off with an estimate of it's value?
