Turn a freewheel or sprocket hub into a fixed gear. It's called a suicide hub because the gear is threaded on, with another lock nut following it. This can come off if it's not reinforced extremely well. The biggest danger is for brakeless fixies relying on the fixed gear to stop.

A comment asks about fitting a new bottom bracket in if it's Klein 35mm press fit, but another comment says they dropped that for english threading later in the 90s, including this bike.
Shows Klien's unique bottom bracket, talks about Klein bike history/design.
Klein bikes from the 80's/90's have 2 press fit bearings and a square taper spindle.
Consider just removing the bearing seals and re-greasing instead of removing the bottom bracket.
You can try knocking out the spindle with a hammer (support the frame with wooden blocks).
