Re: STORM
You must be a fool bidding more than $2500 (wich is about 1666 euro) ???
Mister drechsler was a bit angry that I didn't buy his storm for € 2800,- ( wich is about $ 4200) !!!!!!!
He sent me a totally absurd mail that he knew that he was sure that I didn't buy his frame or bike..........
Ok I want a nice Klein and OK I am trying bidding on e-bay, but he asked 5300,- for his adroit (about $7950,-)
No...you must be a fool bidding on a new storm frame

KLEIN
Hallo
Its a little bit different.
The guy is a professional Bike dealer. He was intersted in both bikes, and wrote that he would like to buy both at a good price.
This morning he wrote that he is so sorry that he wants a bike for riding and not for the wall.
I wrote him, that i was sure to get this answer. I also asked him, if he is the guy hacking on a lot of KLEINS, with no result
Not more and not less.
I also wrote that i have no problem, that this is his problem.
Have a nice evening

Re: STORM
I have to disagree. Firstly, only an idiot would buy this frame for riding it, lesser Kleins are for that. I wouldn't even build it because it has no signs of any components on it.
Even though the Adroit doesn't have MC1, BB, fork, etc. they are quite easy to obtain (well, not matching ones and maybe not the Strata) if one would like to build it up.
I think this is still a very desirable piece and I would be very surprised if there are no bids from certain German, Swiss & Spanish Klein collectors within the last minutes. Also you Thilo!
This frame should be thought of as art, investment and piece of mtb history.

You should also know, that i wrote to the seller that only fools are bidding on this frame with no intention to buy it.
3 guys cancelled there bids and also MISTER KLEINMAN the guy with 86 points.
This makes a sense
Thanks

Re: KLEIN
Yes I am a professional bike dealer, I own a bike shop, but what has that to do with that??
I sell normal bikes, children's bike's and also road and mountainbikes (and we used to sell Klein a few years ago)
I am not hacking on Klein bikes (like you Thilo, so I have heard) I just want ONE !!
I want to pay good money for it but not your absurd prices
What I have learned today?? Not bidding on a NOS Klein frame because there are some hunters wich pay superbe prices (and with all repect they may ofcourse)

Re: STORM
Oh well i'm a fool. I ride all my bikes. I think thats what they were made for. Hence the wheels are round You only live once
It sure is bike art
And their never be anther Klein type mtb maker 
"Investment' i'd stick to property. In the UK my old flat is worth £100,000 more than when i bought it.
My old 93 Sunrise bought for £1250 if i had it now get what? maybe my money back? if lucky and the market high maybe make £500 profit.
Hardly worth investing in. So ride them. You could be dead next week. And you would have died with out ever riding a Klein

You guys and your Kleins :shock:
Its all been done. Every single possible build. Kai's Tinker replica is the last remaining frontier.
I think Jez said it best once. "the work is already done for you."
