Their 1993 road racing aluminium frame "Quantum Pro" was the first high reputation mass production frame to bear an integrated headset fore fork with threadless aluminium steering shaft for aheadset type stem. Besides the frame beared brake and shifting cables inside the tubes making the design very clean, elegant with mud resistant function. Each of these feaures became trends in bicycle frame manufacuring, eg. inner cables are almost a must among contemporary cyclocross frames. Although French bike manufacturer Vitus has marketed integrated fore fork designs on their adhesive lugged frames at the early '90s they were lesser known items. Gary Klein frames were the official supplier of German cycling Team Gerolsteiner before 2003. They also made personal sponsorship in the professional road cycling eg. some riders of Team ONCE normally riding LOOK frames at the mid '90s period. 1993 (MCMXCIII) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar and marked the Beginning of the International Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination (1993-2003). ...

After Klein's company, Klein Bikes, was purchased by Trek, production was moved from Washington state to Trek's Wisconsin manufacturing facility. The mainstay of the Klein mountain bike product line continued to be the hardtail Attitude model. Attempts were made to design and market a full suspension bicycle, with efforts culminating in the Palomino model. The Palomino, based on a Maverick rear suspension design, was discontinued after the 2005 model year, apparently because of a patent controversy. There is widespread speculation over whether Trek plans to continue supporting Klein, or whether the company has plans to discontinue it altogether. In recent years Gary Klein's role in the design of Klein Bikes appears to be minimal. The Trek Bicycle Corporation is a major American bicycle and component manufacturer. ...
