Can too much be just right? With this 1996 Klein Quantum Pro, a custom brainchild of Adi Elmiger, it seems so.
In the 90’s, Klein was known for their innovative design in both the MTB and road market, utilising oversized butted aluminium tubing and fancy finishing details - think brilliant pearlescent ‘flip-flop’ paint jobs and iconic filed-smooth welds - all hand-made in the USA and designed by obsessive former MIT student, Gary Klein.
This, the Quantum Pro, sits at the very top of the Klein road bike desirability scale, marking the pinnacle of the brands independent ability before their acquisition from the American giant, Trek.
Finished in this lucent “blue burgundy“ and complimented (or smothered) by brash matching anodized parts from some of the hottest 90’s tuning brands, it’s certainly something to smile about.
Thanks for letting us build it!
