Klein Adroit Race

Is a Klein Adroit really strong enough to be a jump frame? I thought it was a mega-light xc racing frame.
And if it's a 1999 as Carsten says, has it got any similarity to this Attitude (not that mk1Matt had jumped his)?

That rear dropout area does look unnecessarily flimsy, weight saving gone too far or Ministry of Crap Design?
A klein 'Ministry of crap' Never. So sweet nearly as good as my beloved Trimble's

I've now got to wrestle with the vagaries of internal cable routing......
Good plan, the nation awaits. But if you put a short stem on it and turned the riser bars so they were set back rather than pointing forward, maybe it would still fit Mrs Jango? After all, she does like the colour!
Or has the *evil* Jango now completely forgotten his initial rationale for buying it?
Still, she can't complain - you did offer it to her!
