I call it flip-flop, because it looks like one color in one light and a second in different light. Cannondale used it, but I don't think on as many bikes as Klein. I have one Cannondale with it - the 1998 R4000 in Kameleon Fire. Fades are different as that refers to two solid colors, one...

I don't know the answers to your questions. Craig at Mendon Cyclesmith would. I'm wondering if the scratches could be polished out - maybe with some fine sandpaper with it spinning in a lathe.

Now that aluminum is out of fashion I should pay more attention to Klein listings. Perhaps there's a bargain out there somewhere for me. I looked up the color of my Klein and it's called sea and sky, which describes it well.

Jekyll was made for 5 years or so originally in the early 2000s. Then was missing from the lineup for a few years until brought back for the 2011 model year. Yes, the 3 was third in the Jekyll line that year. The 1 and 2 had carbon frames and higher end components.

34/48 chainrings?

The Waterford is 62 x 57.5 with a 230 mm head tube. The Austro-Daimler is 63 x 59 with a 200 mm head tube.

Brake pads look like they have minimal wear but they could be super hard, being 35 years old. You could try scuffing them with a coarse file or sandpaper. I wouldn't think it would be hard to find something to replace them. Universal Cycles has 5 brands of aftermarket cantilever brake pads...

There are several 7 speed 12-32 cassettes available at Universal Cycles: Dimension, Shimano, SRAM. SunRace has a 12-34. Your current rear derailleur might have enough capacity. Look for a model number, stamped on the back side of the inner parallelogram on most Shimano RDs...

Did you get the fork? It seems like a lot of the re-introduced Jekylls (2011 up) came with Fox forks. I think your frame might be a 2012 Jekyll 3. It's hard to read the catalog scan but I think the bike came with Shimano SLX and a triple crank. I have NOS SLX 10 speed shifters and...

Changing the angle of the front derailleur might help.

Re Klein: I have an Aeolus that has a beautiful green/blue flip flop paint job. It was made after Trek bought the company but the bikes were still made in Chehalis at the time. I think my bike might be a 1995 but I don't have the catalogs handy. As to the clear coat, I'd agree. I had a CAAD9...

I wouldn't think there's much on the bike that couldn't be sourced. Probably the shifters would be hardest to find. Is there something that needs to be replaced? Look for a local bike co-op. Many have space to work on bikes, and people that will assist in repairs.

As you mentioned, limb length and torso length can vary considerably in people of the same height. I need to measure this custom Waterford, but I think the seat tube is at least 60 cm, and I have more seat post exposed than you. Also notice the tall head tube and that I still have more saddle...

If you had asked me what states have canals, ID would have been very far down on the list.

I would be interested to do even a short ride with a HRM. My rides these days are under 10 mile commuting, I'm always trying to get to the next stop and don't want to mess with anything beyond having enough air in the tires - sometimes don't even take the time for that. After so long without...

I have a couple of contacts in AZ, one in Scottsdale. Post what you need to get the bike running.

My aunt and uncle were in Switzerland about 50 years ago. He was a chemist with Dow. Daughter Heidi was born there, and my cousin Scott fell into a manure pit there while working at a hog farm. They loved living there, but got transferred to San Francisco after a few years. I remember my...

Cheap and I have friend Jake in Sapulpa who would ship it. But do I need a third Super V?

I would leave the cable stop intact.

I've never measured them but there were Shimano 8 speed chains designated as "narrow". I doubt that the overall width varied much from their 9 speed chains. I'm using 9 speed chains on several 6/7/8 speed bikes and have never had a problem with one falling between the rings. What crank?
