I've only wanted one of these for about 20 years! look at the price already...
absolutely stunning, although I think I'd source the rigid fork to go with it.
Wish I had the money!
It's a great paint job but that's not worth that kind of money in my opinion.
It's a real hotch potch of period inaccuracies. I'm not 100% positive but I don't think the Team Colours were offered by Klein in 93. I thought Team was available 90-91 but I could be wrong. It's a '93 frame which had the fatter 31.6 seat tube and he's gone and put Rock Shox Judy SL's on there which are from the MC2 era. Also, the MC1 handlebars has the brake cable guide on them, but the forks have one on them so that will look a bit of a mess when built.
Another thing which devalues it is that the seat tube has had a crack repaired. The seller has been honest enough to take a picture of it, though.
This guy is a talented painter, but I wish he'd stop mixing things up like that. He should have just painted it in the Gator Linea Fade or something more period accurate as I'm sure he'd have made a good amount of dosh from it.
Thats mental! Nice frame but with that repair I wouldn't say it was mint.
His gallery has some stunning paint jobs recreated very very well:
