Klein bikes of that era had the best paint jobs I have ever seen. I was way too young to even know about these bikes back then, which is a shame, as they are pretty much at the very top of what constitutes bike porn for me.
I still own a Klein Performance ‘81 and an Adept Comp that has its own amazing story. Love Klein bikes. In fact, I kind of expected this article to be about Klein since it also came from MIT in 1975.
