1987 Klein

1987 Klein:

We got this one as a frame only. It had been sent back to Klein to be repainted in the early 1990's which explains the color. The parts are off of a Cannondale of the same era but would not have come "stock" on the Klein. The components are mostly Suntour XC stuff from 1986/87. This one has the neat round to square shaped chain stays and the large flat chain stay bridge.
