Was it rare because there were so many better colour options? Sorry, but i've never got the Klein thing, or Kona's for that matter :?

I think it's "rare" because it's not a real Klein color but a repainted one.
Could be a special order though but I doubt it.

well if you read the post, it says he used to be a klein rep, and he knows of 2 painted like it. the colour certainly isnt listed anywhere in the klein colour schemes, but there is no reason why the painters/sprayers couldnt do one off colour schemes ( or two), as a tester for new colours, or as a favour for a rep ?
anyway it doesnt matter, im not bidding on it, and i dont really like the colour !!!!

The seller doesn't have a clue about Kleins even if he sold them

The finish isn't anything close to something Klein would have painted for the normal market. I've seen Team bikes that were painted quickly and had a similar dull finish so it might be a Klein paint but certainly not a good one. And for sure not a nice one

Okay, sorry mate, didn't bother reading it. That said, the colors used are probably the ones from Coral Reef, mainly metallic magenta and teal/mint.
