I never thought about fitting when I bought it - saw a sweet bike and pounced. <br />Now I'm thinking if I should invest in converting to STI, or sell and and work towards fitting a bike to my size. But somehow they don't fetch so much lately, and I'd rather keep it and not sell for 1000$.

I appreciate this Awesome climber of any hill in Seattle because it has stock 3 chainrings. Time to sell now. I am a former UCD bike mechanic and rode with a friend x-country Fresno to Boston in 1974. This is the only good bike I ever had that was not stolen because when out riding it was never out of my site for more than a few minutes!<br /><br /><br /><br />mark dierkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548232872297917025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126898863478033647.post-43927335415977852742017-03-25T16:15:28.876-07:002017-03-25T16:15:28.876-07:00Have 9 Klein road bikes.

My oldest is one with Gary's signature and a picture of him standing beside the new owner right after he moved to WA.<br /><br />One of my Quantum's has a Durace DI-2 system and another old Klein is a Stage Tour from the mid 80's and I've got it running on a Sram Red E-Tap.feetdryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03751466668182321924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126898863478033647.post-5426080187697379302016-11-06T06:15:25.065-08:002016-11-06T06:15:25.065-08:00My Performance was purchased in 1983.

It's still a beautiful bike that still rides well and doesn't look (all that) out of date. If you are interested I will post pics. <br />As I recall, I ordered it early in 1983, but did not receive it until well into 1984. I have a letter from Gary somewhere apologizing for the long delay.
