Well remembered Daniel, yes indeed I did own one - actually 2, one I built as a complete bike which took 2 years to complete and the other one was unused and I sold on as a frame only many years ago!

![]() ![]() It would be cool, if Chris would offer a Harlequin Aquafade colour-option for the 2015 models... Cheers, Daniel |

Hard to say either way, although if it is a repaint the finish looks identical to the originals that I have owned.

The best is, you talk to Gerrit Hardtke from CycleArt-Berlin - he's a real colour-artist

Interesting, could be! Just checked out that painter, some good work but no doubt eye wateringly expensive!!

Russ Picket did a black/silver Harlequin paint job for me some years ago. Beautiful work, does not look exactly like original, but probably a better paint job than it had originally. He did the stem and suspension fork to match also

You would figure Jon Rock of Retrobike fame could do it. Any Fat scheme is child's play compared to the period Klein finishes. And his Klein work seems to be well regarded. Worth an email for our interested friends already in the UK.

Spectrum ($) and Cycleart ($$$$) also do Klein linear fades right, and have the proper sub decal sets. In my experience, the best bang for the buck is Joes, who does all Calfee & other OEM repair & refinish work. Beautiful work, there's nothing they can't or won't do, and it's always done promptly & surprisingly, reasonably priced. When I get around to dealing with it, I'll just have him do my Adroit... |
