Actually from reading the account of what happened it sounded like it was due to a production-line failiure - apparantly it snapped at the weld and therefore tore off the top tube. Crazy stuff.
At least he'll be able to sell the forks and stem...

There were a batch of welded up kleins doing the rounds around london area in the lmid-late 90's through mend-a-bike in Filham. They had a contact at Fusion, who was letting bikes out that were split at the seat tube, and tommy quick was welding them up again. And then they split again.. And henceforth klein haven't liked anybody to use a shimmed use post. Understadably.
And of course all the above is 'alleged and heresay',

I broke one like the one on the pic above (Attitude '91 but mine was a red yellow and pink one). It developed cracks at the down-headtube junction and on the massive forks' crown. I got a brand new '99 adroit as a replacement, though, equipped with a manitou sxr
They do break, not so often but they do break.
I've seen some in the last 3 months from beginning '90s and all had a crack at the seattube/bottombracket.
Also the full sussers crack. The frames I saw did not realy break in pieces but just cracked and made noises...always a bummer if you have to replace a golden oldie for a Trek... :cry:
