> [@Quattro Krant](#): > > Is that from the vintage when Gary Klein was making them? Basically, a first generation Klein? No it’s a 2002. Still made in the USA, but it doesn’t have that weird threadless bottom bracket that Klein’s had in the 90’s. I got it as a frame and basically started fresh.

You paid someone else money to glue it together? I take working on stuff for granted sometimes… I still have my stand and most tools necessary to build whatever I want from when I worked at a shop for a while and considering I’ve been riding forever, paying a shop just isn’t viable. ---

Thanks to fiend540 for building this and big e for selling it to me! Love this bike, rode it all summer long. Makes me feel like a kid again. Def going to pick up a road bike for next spring, but this seems like a bike I will keep forever ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/94wvwglxvr6/IMAG0039.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/94wvwglxvr6/IMAG0039.jpg) ---

> [@gt08vapor](#): > > I am looking into getting a road bike. How are they on your back, Hitting bumps or anything. My spine is shot and cant take much abuse. Worst case senerio… get a full suspension bike if it really bothers you that much. Put some road style tires on and call it a day. You wont have full power out of the bike since the suspension can steal some of the power you produce… but it will save your back in the long run. ---

Where do you plan on riding said road bike? Any quality aluminum road bike with a carbon fork and seat steam will ride very nice and not hurt your back. If you go through a giant pothole then yes, you’re going to feel that. I’d worry about fit as that can make you miserable on a road bike if not correct. ---

How hard does it get to pedal with the light roller engaged? I love the ride of my steel winter bike-not the lightest thing out there but it rides NICE. WHat are you going to do on Schwinn for shifters? Run sti style with the little adjusters on the down tube?
