What makes a bike brand its own brand? What does it come down to? At the end of the day and after all the marketing, brand image, company history, and brand loyalty. What is it really? It comes down to the frame. I dive down into what I know and have seen over the last 30 years. • 🚴‍♀️💨 LeMond Bikes 🛠️ ... .

My passion for bikes started when my parents opened a shop in the 1980s called Parker Bikes (we were located in Parker, Colorado). My love for cycling has continued since then, in my work and with my hobbies of road cycling and mountain biking. After my parents’ shop closed, I worked for other bike shops (including Lee’s Cyclery in Fort Collins), where I built and sold bikes, fixed and tuned up bikes, and managed inventory.
I love working on bikes and want to share my passion for cycling with others. So, next time you’re talking cycling with someone and wondering how to get started or where to go from here, you can think, “I know a guy!”

I still ride my 1998 Klein Quantum Race. It provides a stiff and very precise ride. That bike goes wherever you point it and the fact it doesn't flex too much provides lots of confidence.

Labels are de-bossed. Use a crayon on the deep scratches. I own 4 kleins, quantum pro, quantum race, a performance, and the bike hanging on Sheinfelds wall, a pinnacle. Good video.

It was sad to see what Trek did with Klein. Who knows how long the brand could have survived in its original structure. The Klein Attitude, in my opinion, is still the best hardtail I’ve ever ridden. The balance of that frame was incredible.

that frame wasn't made in the same trek factory (per the silver tag on the down tube), they still built them in klein's factory for a few years after the acquisition. beautiful bikes.

Trying putting together a Quantum in Purple Haze with Chorus 12s. And of course I dropped the brake cable!!! It will take some time....

Take a Shimano positron shift wire, cut it in two pieces, make a little hook on each end, and than, make a connection, inside the frame, it works, for safe🤣😂👍‼️

Sweet video. Still riding a (upgraded) Klein Quantum Race (Silvercloud) almost daily. Just cannot part with it!

I have ridden a few Klein bikes over the years. I do have a hard tail 26”er that I will not part with. Lol always looking for Kleins to refinish.

Sorry! The only cool KLEIN Bikes, were those first ones, MTB Models from 1992. The Attitude and the Adroit! Intergrated bearings, and the real unique paintings! Your videos are cool, and well done! I'm bike mech too, from Bavaria. And 1992, when I was 12 years old, and owned my first Trek Antelope 820, my dream bike was a KLEIN Attitude, with a campa group, for 5000 German Mark😂😂😁👍

Do any manufacturers build aluminum bikes this good anymore?

Did you buy your last bike by brand or by frame geometry and fit? New from a shop or used? More Videos of "This Old Bike": kzfaq.info/sun/PLdfUXv0-z1u7vyOnXmx75Pj6AxA1xUkkY
