2004 RetroRoad Klein Quantum Pro-Carbon

I am upset about this bike. I love it, it has been cherished for years, and I just don't ride road any more. Ever. It’s not the bike - it’s riding on the road, which is nasty experience these days...

Extraordinarily beautiful green-purple metal flake fade. Purple when viewed from one direction. Blue from another and green from another. Aluminium main triangle, carbon stays and fork. This bike has astonishing handling. It just leaps forward with every pedalstroke yet is more comfortable than any bike I have ever ridden. It corners on rails; and in its time it picked up a legendary reputation for its handling. I relished turning up to meets on a premium pedigree road bike with a mountain bike heritage.

Carbon forks and rear triangle.
Sizing is the usual ambiguous sloping top tube sizing.
50cms to top of seat tube.
54cms measured horizontally.
I’m 170cm tall - my son is 174cm.
We both fit well.
Original Bontrager seat post, saddle, bars.
95 mm ITM flip flop stem.
Original Shimano 16 spoke 105 wheel set.
105 black chainset.
9 speed 105 cassette.
Original BB perfect. Original headset perfect.
Never ridden in rain or winter.

I seriously have treated this more as art than a bike. It is ready to jump on and ride.

Two things to mention. A missing small plastic 105 logo cover on the LH lever. And holding tape on the bar tape could do with tidying up - all bar tape is good, but holding tape is a bit naff. Other than that - perfect. Absolutely no dings or dents. Original group set with just a few hundred miles on it from new.

price is 900gbp.

Would refer collection from East Anglia but can discuss.
Thanks
