You will see from my other posts that i am cutting down my collection and the Klein frame is up for sale as a result.
** Update, close up shots can be seen at http://kmf.mikewoodmountain.co.uk/#5.0 they are large photos and close up just so that you can see how good this frame is**
I purchased the frame from this site 6 months ago and have done about 200 dry miles on it since. Its condition is just like it was when I get it namely close to perfect. The frame will be sold with a crane creek headset as they are difficult to find and the seat bolt seen in the pictures.
This is without doubt one of the stiffest, lightest and prettiest frames I have ever ridden and draws much comment. I have it built with ultegra triple group set on it and it comes in complete at 17 pounds, you will see from the original advert that the previous owner had it under 15 using dura ace components.
I have purchased some cable internal frame guides and will send them with the bike or it takes days to thread the cables.
Klein sizing is not normal, the previous owner sold it as a 58 cm and that will be about right. I am an average 6 footer and the frame fits me lovely. However my 5' 10" friend also found it perfect with just seat post adjustment.
The paint and decals are still pretty much perfect apart from very minor marks from building the bike up. The forks are the classic Klein carbon and the rear triangle is also carbon.
The best pictures of the frame are on the original post http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=172664 . I have tried to post one of it built if it hasn't worked I will add some tonight.(ignore the seat post might that is not how I ride it!!)
As you can see I paid £400 for it. I am looking to get substantial amount of that back so make me a sensible offer and you could have a very special ride.
