I think the 90's Kleins moved to 34.9 or so. Very thin ST's.
The "endless band" seems to grip without pressure points.
Klein seemed to think some of the parts specified were, uh, immortal.
Half fun, Half challenge, Half PITA.
FWIW, there was a generation of Shimano band clamps in that size around '87, I had a Deore DX/LX on an oversized Douglas mtn bike seat tube that was oddly oval (ovoid?) in section. When it broke, I went to a single chainring. It's not what you want but it's a option to look for just the same. Good luck.
