I think I saw it on Seinfeld.

That's a Klein Pinnacle and a bit green.

Fuck I drooled over a Klein Pinnacle in Gator Linear Fade green as a teenager

 

[Mr Crudley]

Klein definitely had some funky paint schemes and those nicely buffed welds looked classy.

I remember lunchtime drooling over an expensive technicolour Adroit that was at Clarence Street Cyclery in Sydney back in the day.

I could be colourblind. You don’t know!

I told you to leave it alone or something like this might happen

GT had some wild paint schemes back then too, like the old Karakoram Tequilla Sunrise.

The Tequila Sunrise is on of my favourites, since it is so right and wrong at the same time.

Plenty more character than the standard Matt black that is served up these days.

I always lusted for the blue web coloured one but could never find one in my size.

90s MTB's were just character all over. Klein had some awesome colours. The Tequila Sunrise Karakoram has always been a favourite of mine too.

Klein paint jobs were unreal.

I still have my 92 Avalanche with the Dry Ice paint. I'll be hanging onto this one.

Nice and still looks in pretty good condition too.

Nice and still looks in pretty good condition too.

The paint is pretty tough. It has been out on loan for a time too.

Far from pristine though.

The tough paint was one they prided themselves on in the early days.

I had an old steel Talera, 2x steel Polarmar's, the later alloy Avalance and Aggressor, still have the frames.

Do you know what these mean ?

Have to hang onto the older GT's. Nice collection sir.

I think the ping pong logo was something to do with GT's staff playing it while thinking about what to make next, or something.
You might have to fill me on that one
