Subject: [CR]Question about early Klein

I just got off the phone with a guy from Salt Lake City, UT who sniped that Columbine from me about 3 weeks ago on ebay. We had a wonderful chat about bicycles--he owns a couple of Ron Stout bikes, a local SLC builder. During the conversation, he mentioned that he has a 1983 Klein touring bike with Campagnolo Record triple setup, but he didn't have a clue to value. It has a black stem, black rings and some other black parts as well. I didn't include touring bikes in my Used Bike Buyers Guide for the most part, so I know I missed whether that model in 1983 would have had Boron stiffeners. It retailed for over $3500 so I suspect it must have had something that made it worth that much. Would anyone else know? If there are any Klein collectors that might be able to help this guy put a value on this bike let me know off-line and I'll put you in touch with him. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
