Marty and list,

I have serial #6 and was told by the guy from whom I purchased mine nearly 25 years ago that there were a total of something like 13 complete bikes made in all. Whether one considers this production or just 13 prototypes came into play in the litigation of Klein versus Cannondale, which was essentially about who had the oversized tubes concept down first.

The only orange one I've ever known about has some history connected to it as it was the bike used in Breaking Away (by the then actor guy who is now a gal).
