Yes, exactly that! Just look at it! 1998 and it looks like it has just come off the drawing board as the next iteration of cycling. Marvellous!

When I did early morning road rides in a fit of ignoring the terrible driving and the very real risks of the narrow but horribly fast roads around eastern England I rode this:
It is NOT of the same pedigree as the bikes above, since it's a post-takeover frame and carbon-metal mix. But it rides beautifully. And the paint is quite something - purple from one angle, green from another, light blue from a third.
I loved being on a MTB-linked bike in a group of roadies with Italian bikes. 'Klein'????? and being ridiculed, until the next hill...whoosh.

Before you go on posting your links, I hope you all are aware of the differences between the "real" Quantum Pro of 1994-1996 and the inbetweeners of 1997 to 1998 and then the ones that were completely overtaken by TREKs changes.
Yes, they were still produced in Chehalis, Washington until 2000 or 2001 ...however, a "real" Quantum Pro is a highly sought after retro cult bike that reaches up to 2.000 Euros for the frame alone (if you have it in a super rare custom ordered color like Gator Linear Fade or Moonrise of that time 1992 to 1995)
Most of the links I see here are more or less the models that "nobody wants" or collects anyways.
#just saying to clarify differences
That is because I see too many people asking 2.500 Euros for a 2002 Quantum. Simply because they dont know KLEINs but as soon as they read the brand name, they try to make big dollars!
