Sometimes random trips out to Long Island find some real gems. This came out of a yard of hundreds of sale bikes waiting to be saved. 

​

It also weighed as much as an old Peugeot from the 70's with all the crap that was on it. 

​

So we promised it a nice clean home and a bowl of soup. 

​

We always know the Pre-Trek-merger Kleins because they have the pressed-in cartidge bottom brackets. They almost never need servicing or replacement. Our green Klein is like that too. 

​

Now, with it's 24-spoke wheelset and Pepperoni fork and other goodies we got it down to about 23.5 lbs. 

​

Of course we put our cruiser bar treatment on it.

Why? Because it's comfortable and fast.
