    Two years ago I was able to find the same Klein with the same paint and 105 groupset that had been in storage since it was purchased. The lady only rode it twice. Her husband said the stiffness of the frame scarred her. The dropouts still had all the paint on them. Best $750.00 I ever spent.

      @@Velofil there's one for $1250usd by my house I already have a tcr sl etap disc so I wanna do this build but can't justify it because my bike is already pretty similar in weight and stiffness.

    Nice build. My 2002 "Plum Crazy" Quantum is getting a new 105 R7000 (2 x 11) groupset, Whisky stem and Dimension flat top shallow drop bar this spring. It will look a lot like this one, but with different wheels and tubeless tires. Thanks for the preview. I added a Fizik Arione Classic saddle, Whisky carbon seatpost, and Enve titanium QR skewers last year. Used Bontrager RXL tubeless ready alloy wheels were added 2 years ago. I bought my Klein brand new in '02. It was one of the last made in Chehalis. I've never heard this color/paint called "Purple Haze" though.
    Edit: After further research, it appears that your bike is a 2000. The paint job is a bit different, where the "Purple Haze" looks green at an angle and the "Plum Crazy" is more of a copper color in one direction and deep blue at another angle. According to the 2000 Klein Tech Manual, the color of your bike is called "Blastberry", even though it's referred to as "Purple Haze" in many places on the internet.

    Love the bike, well chosen upgrades! Another thing you could upgrade is the fork. You can use a 34mm Headset, for Aheadset forks, that are used in BMX bikes. Than, you can buy a Carbon Fiber fork, and save more weight. I did this to my old bike, and it works well! I saved 800 grams changing spacers, stem, adapters, and the fork itself, when I switched to an Aheadset Carbon Fiber fork, it really worth it!

      @@jaspreetsidhu5708 I’m sure Ultegra and DuraAce are a tad lighter and look nicer, depending on your taste. However, I don’t think anyone would be able to discern any actual difference in performance between any of these groupsets. If anyone has the cash and wants to opt for anything beyond 105, by all means do it. I just feel that money would be better spent elsewhere where it may be more noticeable, in wheels, for example.

      @@poxcr wheels, tires or honestly simply a better frame have much more impact on the weight, comfort and even performance. Don't know why some always try to get the most recent and most expensive components and ride a crappy frame set for instance :)
      (not implying klein to be in this case)

    Looks amazing!
    I would have personally went with Supacaz Kush Galaxy -oil slick bar tape to tie into the frame paint. It would have went perfectly but looks fantastic.
    De-decaling the wheels really gave it a more upscale boutique look. I feel like logo'd wheels are just plain gaudy.
    I also would have went with a Zipp carbon cockpit (except for the stem) just to inch out some weight savings and add some comfort, but all good stuff, and the R7000 105 is exception value and aesthetic!

    So nice man!!! I really do love it so much. I work at a trek store here in Alabama (Roll Tide lol) and was given an older madone that has a crack in the top tube. Im going to repair it then customize it. Its unfortunately a 56cm and I ride a 52cm so it might end up being wall art but still will be a fun process! Thanks for the inspiration my dude!

    Awesome build I think I will do something similar with Tiagra. 105 is now dead to me because it's electronic only.
    Honestly a near perfect build, only things I would change are subcompact cranks(I'm not that strong of a rider) and clinchers with at least 28mm maybe 32mm if the frame can handle it instead of tubular tyres.

    Amazing build and what a transformation! My personal differences would have been for a more slender looking stem like a 3t arc ii (Thomson 4x stems always seem to be over built for road bikes). Lovely build. How does it ride? That would make for a great follow up video

    • @Velofil
      @Velofil  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks Dale! 3t arc ii would be a good choice unfortunately it is not available in glossy black. It rides incredibly fast and agile and on top it's always a converstaion starter no matter where I am on the road with it😎
