After some proper paint cure time I completed the build over the last few days, I have to say I'm really pleased with the outcome, best of all my son (the build recipient) is thrilled

Nice job mate as always why is it you can't get them wet decals anymore also you seem to know your Klein's my Klein pinnacle is sky and sea colour and has pcff followed by the Klein k in a circle on the back drop out do you know what this means no numbers on BB cheers mate
Thanks for the kind words
The "P" at the start is for the model: Pinnacle, for the other numbers or letters Klein used a hexadecimal version of a digital number, in your case I believe CFF equals 3327
I could be off base also, maybe someone can confirm or correct what written above?

Stunning build! The speed that you get things done is impressive. This is motivating me to start building mine up and maybe a 'three Klein's' ride in the near future. Not sure if this interview with Gary Klein has been posted already but he does mention the Top Gun and Paramount trademark fiasco

Ok mate that's great it's the closest anyone has come so fair play no clue on the 3327 I assume it's earlier than 91/92 and I trying to match something to the paint colour it's got a chunk of paint missing along the chain guard rail I was thinking on trying what you did with that plastic wrap

It looks great... except for the seatpost: i believe the bike predates that syncros by a few years. Anything single bolt w/ setback will look right. shimano, suntour, nitto... even kalloy will look better.
