    Klein Quantum Pro 1995 Burgundy Blue

    Thanks! I’ll sand off the old binder bolt eyelets and run a standard Klein seat clamp on it—won’t lose any significant length on the seat tube. (I think you are right—‘97 was first year for the new seat clamp…Trek did bring at least some good edits to Klein.) I’ll check out Tune cranks but...

But I’ve spoken with solid re-sprayers and it appears to be an issue of aging—that is...

    Wanted Klein Quantum Pro 57cm

    you can measure the diameter with a mocrometer and pick up almost any size you need on eBay for ~$20. I’ve never had issues getting ones.
