Decided to do a build on my spare Attitude frame, had it up for sale for a bit but no one pulled the trigger due to size/condition etc, so I decided to do something about it 8)

It will be built from stuff I have in stock, and will not be "conforming" to the usual KLEIN build sheet, I have the backfire for that.

Sent it out to my friend, who striped the HLF paint job and hit it with something new......

Teaser shot for now, until I get some more pics in better light.

As ever, comments welcome :)

Ok so here are some more pictures, it's Judy yellow lol, all over, I will get some pictures in the day light at the weekend.

It will be running Judy SL forks up front using a standard 1.1/8 heaset as I have some adaptors for this frame to allow the smaller steerer to be used.

Im looking to go a yellow and anno red theme, I suppose you could call it rhubarb and custard? :lol:

A couple of pre decal pictures, im having issues capturing the yellow in the light.

I have added decals I got from James (thesneaker) which are super quality, thanks mate.

Im on the fence if I use this seat post, but it was in stock, and it's 27.2 so I will see how it looks further down the line.

Comments welcome.
