-However, no authenticated photos of either a 1983 or 1984 Mountain Klein can be found.  There are a few promising mislabeled photos of Kleins with original components which are period correct for 1984.  The example on the right uses a SunTour Cyclone front derailleur, which was out of production by 1983 and a Deerhead rear derailleur which was out of production in 1984.  Note the radial spokes, cantilever breaks, internal chain stay cable and top tube decals, which are not seen on later Mountain Kleins.+However, no authenticated photos of either a 1983 or 1984 Mountain Klein can be found.  There are a few promising mislabeled photos of Kleins with original components which are period correct for 1984.  The example on the right uses a SunTour Cyclone MkII front derailleur, which was in production from 1981->1984 and a Deerhead Version 1 rear derailleur which was in production from 1983->1984.  Note the radial spokes, cantilever breaks, internal chain stay cable and top tube decals, which are not seen on later Mountain Kleins.
