Well, as they look like Cannondales with 'Don't bloody crash and scratch me' paintjobs I would say uncool as the only Cannondale I had was a M800 and the biggest pile of shite I've ever ridden. Uncomfortable, bad tracking etc etc. Bikes for walls in American sitcoms..............


Interesting. By that logic, I should dump my girlfriend because she has 2 boobies, brunette hair and is about the same height as my last one. Given what a b*tch the first one turned out to be, I'm sure the current girlfriend will be exactly the same. :roll:


Lend me yours and I'll give it a go and maybe change my mind :D

Gator Linear fade is indeed cool, having seen (and bought) Paul's GLF Rascal in the flesh, I can vouch that photo's really don't do the paint scheme any justice at all...... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

The paint jobs are works of art,
but don't collect butterflies.

Ride it, race it, use it, then its cool

Got to love a Klein. Catnip.

I'm particularly drawn by the way way people refer to them by the paint job: "Night Storm is so cool"; "Gator fade rocks". Tell me there was a Blue Steel option?

I can't see one single thing going for Kliens.

Oh yes I can, I don't have one. :wink:

Ugly as sin, very uncool!

Surely retrobike has got to be bigger than one historical make of bike?
