Not knowing anything about Kleins, can anyone tell me anything about this? Looks like it has a canti bridge and if the Judys are original i'm guessing 95/96 ish?

Expensive too? :?

It's 1994. Colour is Puget Morning, not the flashiest and sexiest of Klein colours as you can see.

ZipGrip seat post clamp is a unsuccessful tryout by Klein. The problem was (is) that the seatpost won't stay put with heavier riders (over 80kg, if I recall right). The frames were recalled so there are not that many of them around but they pop on eBay every now and then. Usually go for 200-400€, depending on color and condition.

The Pulse frame is meant to be used with a suspension fork (Mag 21, Judy, Lawwill 3 and some others were offered). Headtube is 1 1/8". The Pulse is the lightest of all vintage Klein frames. Their race team used Pulse BITD with Girvin forks.
Those Judys are not original with the frame.

And oh yes, it's meant for cantilever brakes.
