One for the Klein Fans..

[Radar]

latest issue of Singletrack magazine has an article on Caroline Alexander's klein cross bike. (Adapted hybrid).

Nice looking bike.

Before anyone asks no I won't scan it - consider that to be bad form, when the magazine has only just hit the newsagents. Chaps from abroad who can't get hold of the mag can download it (for a fee) from singletrackworld.

did you look that up or just remeber? the only klein paint name interesting enuff to be worthwhile remebering is the storm.. the team USA.. & the ...

How is cazzas bike portrayed in STW mag? kinda amazed its still in 1 piece given how often she crashed.. any1 else remeber her riding over that bridge during a race & somehow ending up in the stream? .. tho I was kinda gutted for her in the commonwealth games when she flatted, couldnt fix it & lost her massive lead

It is a tweaked Agile, in (forgive my Klein paintscheme ignorance) fluoro pink/orange/yellow.

Looks nice, even though it isn't a Pace

Mate, Carsten is joking on your expense here...
The correct paintjob names are Sunburst and Moonrise, not the mixed ones...
I have a pic somewhere of an Adept hybrid with drop-bars (factory option BITD) that has a Sunburst paintjob but it's other way around (like pink-red-yellow when it should be yellow-red-pink) from front to back.

Is this that Caroline's bike ?

I've never seen a reverse-Sunburst like this one...and the factory-option of custom Control Tech stem is super rare too...
