"This
bike is built up with the same stuff that Tinker
used in 1993 in his team race bike. Even the chain
is Sachs ATB! The best part is that the wheels
are the original wheels of Tinker! I got them
with a little help from Tinker himself! They even
have the UCI inspection number 332 straight from
the '93 Worlds! How cool is that!
The
frame itself is quite odd beast - #OX11920206
is not a normal production number as the frame
size (19" ?) is replaced with a letter O.
The unique thing is that it has double bottle
cage installation points on the bottom of the
downtube - I've never seen another Klein have
holes like this. But you cannot install normal
M4 bolts into them for the threads are smaller,
maybe for M3 bolts...
Also the paintjob is quite rare because this one
has the old Klein logos on it and the scheme is
different to the Storms with '94 logos. As you
can see the colors wary and the headtube is not
"clouded". Carsten(Klein guru) says
this one is a team-only paintjob that was never
offered to the public. If any of you happen to
have knowledge about these first Storm bikes,
please share with me (us)..." words
by proud Finnish owner of this bike!
