PERFORMANCE
Many cyclists have indicated a desire for the quality, ride and handling of a Klein at a price they can afford. Now, we have what they have been waiting for. The production Klein. The strongest and stiffest frame available. Only 3¼ lbs., bare frame weight. Klein technology and frame design result in secure and balanced handling, ride and high power efficiency.
The Performance frameset and bicycle, like every other Klein, provides a quality of performance above and beyond that available from any other source. Expensive frames made elsewhere feel heavy and awkward in comparison. The invention of the Klein frameset (patent pending), provides a revolutionary concept in frame construction and an exciting new riding experience.
The Performance frameset has been priced to cost less than many framesets made of steel. It is an excellent touring or racing bicycle with the appropriate component packages described in the specifications. Available in sizes 54, 56, 58, and 60 cm. as either a frameset or a complete bicycle.
The frameset is finished with a durable coat of Deltron in a beautiful fawn silver. Even at the low price, each frameset comes with heavy duty sealed precision bearing bottom bracket installed, 2 water bottle mounts, a custom fitted chrome silca pump, rack mounts, aero shift levers, and all cable guides. It is fitted for a Suntour braze-on front derailleur.

……Advantage and Criterium framesets and bicycles offer excellence of performance and handcrafted beauty unmatched by any other frame builder.
The Advantage is patterned after the Stage. The geometry, light weight, comfort and power train rigidity make it the best frameset available for fast touring, time trial and general road racing. The exceptional strength and rigidity built into this frameset for the above purposes also make it ideal for heavy duty touring – in fact it is more capable in this respect than heavy steel touring frames. Available in even sizes from 46 to 70 cm.
The Criterium has the Klein racing frame design shown in the main brochure for the Team Super™ The shorter wheelbase and higher bottom bracket are particularly well suited for criterium racing. Available in sizes 51, 54, 57, 59, 61, and 64 cm.
