This is an old bike I bought back on the year 2000. I rode it a lot for like 5 to 6 years then bought another Klein bike then rode that for a number of years, then bought my Gary Fisher. Sold the other Klein but kept this one because I just did. The parts were all worn out and beat up. I decided to replace all of the parts and keep the nice Klein frame. To keep the budget down, I bought like the cheapest decent parts from the internet bike shops. Got some good deals and for a new wheelset, fork, drivetrain, pedals, Maxxis tires, handlebars with grips, bottom bracket, and headset. The only things I kept was the seatpost, saddle, stem, shifter/levers, front and back deraillers, and of course the frame. At first, I thought about selling the bike after rebuilding it but after I was done, I decided to keep it for a backup bike. Also thinking about every time I go to my sisters house in North Carolina every summer, I could just ship it there every time and I can a bike to ride there. Then I can ship it back before I leave home. I will check the shipping prices and if it cost more than just renting a bike, then I will forget about it and rent a bike when I go there.
I rode it a little bit outside of town and it rides nice, it is a bit heavier than it used to be because I am so cheap on parts on this bike since it's just a bike I ride occasionally. But overall, it is a decent bike.
