The Aluminum Klein

Congratulations. In considering Klein, you are not only selecting the world’s best-engineered frames, but one of the world’s finest riding bicycles as well. And, after all, isn’t that what it’s all about?
Building aluminum frames isn’t difficult. Building them right is. From the custom cutting of Klein Power Tubing to the multi-coat application of Durethane enamel, each Klein is constructed to blend strength, comfort, handling and efficiency of design into a truly superior product.

Dear Fellow Enthusiast

Thank you for your interest in Klein bicycles. We are happy to provide you with information about these bicycles because we feel that once you ride a Klein, you will agree with Bicycling magazine that these are “the ultimate, perfect bicycles” for racing and touring, and off-road use.
Each Klein comes equipped with the world’s finest components, chosen for their ability to function together in a system that performs efficiently and is easy to handle. At Klein, we believe that a machine should work for you; you should not have to work to operate the machine. We are sure that you will notice the ease and comfort of handling of your Klein.
The staff at Klein also makes sure you have a beautiful, quality finish on your bicycle. In addition to the aesthetic considerations, the Durethane finish is extremely durable. This coating is resistant to scratches and denting, thus protecting the tubing from surface damage. So, your Klein will retain its show-quality finish for many years to come and it will survive daily wear and tear, races and tours, beautifully.
In order to enhance your appreciation of this fine frame, we tailor your Klein to your needs, based upon your body measurements and type of riding. With this information, we will provide you with a beautifully-fitted machine. You will love it the moment you get on.
Once again, we appreciate your interest in our bicycles and we look forward to handcrafting your new Klein. Please call or write if we can be of service.
Sincerely yours,
Gary Klein, President
Klein Bicycle Corporation

Klein’s Custom Framesets
ALL CUSTOM-FITTED FRAMESETS INCLUDE AS STANDARD: Side-mounted down tube shift levers, heavy-duty, precision-sealed bearing bottom bracket assembly, all cable guides, one water bottle mount and custom-fitted color-matched pump. Finished with durable Durethane polyurethane enamel in Sovereign Blue, Shimmering Burgundy, Very Fast Red, Shadow Silver or Sable.

CRITERIUM. Frameset only (51-68cm) … $1,295
Gary Klein personally supervises the custom-fitting and choice of components for every Criterium built. And, after a meticulous final inspection, his written approval accompanies each completed frame. Body measurements and riding style are analyzed for a perfect fit.

TEAM SUPER. Frameset only (51-68cm) … $1,995
The Team Super represents the highest quality, custom-fitted frame Klein can produce. Any flaw in the finish is cause for rejection. Nothing is spared in the design and construction of this frame. In addition to all the Criterium features, Boron fiber is used in the chainstays, seat stays and front fork blades for its shock-absorbing characteristics and power-train rigidity. Since Boron composites absorb high frequency shock many times better than conventional materials, the Team Super has an exceptionally smooth ride.

ADVANTAGE. Frameset only (46-70cm) … $1,295
Gary Klein personally reviews the fitting and choice of components for the Advantage. His final inspection approval accompanies each custom-fitted frame.

STAGE. Frameset only (46-70cm) … $1,995
The Stage represents the ultimate in comfort and performance. It’s the frame for individuals who demand the very best the world has to offer, not only in ride and handling but in aesthetics as well. In addition to all the Advantage features, Boron fiber reinforcements are used in chainstays, seat stays and front fork blades to further enhance the properties of the frame. Boron fiber, per weight, is the strongest, stiffest structural material in the world, absorbing high frequency shock many times better than conventional materials. Truly, the best bicycle available.
