Well I absolutely ♥ this bike. I did change the pedals so that I can wear regular tennipods if I want. There was a period of time where I couldn't remember to clip out, so I would fall . . . A LOT! (TGIP)
One of the coolest things about this bike, besides it's phenomenal paint job, is that the bike is first welded together, then they go back over it with a low flame and smooth out all the seams. They also design the frame for the cables to be internal. That is crazy cool. No more pinching my skin when I'm doing tight standing corners and such. So when the bike is painted, it truly becomes a work of art. The bike is crazy lightweight. I like that especially after a long ride if I have to carry it upstairs and am already exhausted. It's not so heavy that I struggle to get it up the stairs.
I cannot wait for Klein to come back to the states.
I started biking more regularly lately and have fallen back in love with my bike. Riding it a few times, I remember what drew me to it in the first place. It is gorgeous. It is sexy. It is the Cadillac of bikes. It rides like a dream. It handles like a dream. I'm glad I splurged on it when I did. I had no idea that the Klein bikes would become obsolete in the US shortly after I bought mine.
