Just saw this in the photo gallery.
I used to think Kleins were awesome! Not sure I can promote this paint job though. Stick a Halson Inversion fork on there and you're set!

i too used to lust after them - esp. the aluminum forked adroits / attitudes. sweet bikes back in the day. lots of neat frame details - internal cable routing, filleted welds, pressed cart bb, plus totally rad paintjobs. i picked up a 1990 rascal couple years ago for a trailer puller:

I wanted that bike sooooooo bad…

There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.
I remember that bike in the OP's post….I loved the big tubes of the bikes…but was not a fan of them really….was more of a fat city, specialized and RM back then.
I liked them, so did Jerry Seinfeld apparently.

its a shame they are no more.
is going big on a bike the only way to get you stoked on the sport? what happened to riding with your bros, travelling, and riding unique places, to get people stoked on riding?
fines are useless. there needs to be more punches to the throat.
they always had the best paint jobs.

Crazy spokes!
I remember when peeps used to ask me to build wheels like that, and in so many other weird ways:alien:. Thankfully disk brakes came along and pretty much dictated a standard tangential spoke lacing.
I also had a Halson Inversion fork on my 93 Rocky Blizzard. That was a great bike, I broke it so many times and just kept welding it back together. The fork, too. Man I had to do some crazy stuff to keep that thing going cuz parts were just unavailable and the shop I got it from sucked ass when it came to that after sales service thing.
I liked how some of their paint jobs would change colour.
Observe the Magura hydro cantilevers! In fluorescent yellow! And grip shift x-rays, or maybe SRT 800s. Those were the days.
And is that a bar/stem combo?
Total fudge prongs.
