You are buying a brand new 1999 Klein Karma Pave rear suspension hybrid bike. Our shop originally purchased this bike as a frameset and built it up with new components that we had in the shop (for detailed specifications see below). Manufactured in the USA this Klein is from the Trek owned era of Klein bikes, the quality construction of the frame can be seen in the smoothed aluminum welds and and deep green paint job. This most miles this bike has seen were on short test rides that we offer out of our shop. This particular model was only manufactured for one year, as it appears that the market for high quality suspension hybrids was just not that large. The ride quality on this bike is ultra-smooth yet responsive and was professionally built by our shop. Despite being new we are not offering a warranty of any sort on this bike as Klein has since been disbanded by Trek. Please see photographs for detail.
