After weeks and weeks waiting finally this morning my new Klein Attitude arrived. one of the most beautifull colours in my opinion.

Frame wil be build up with full XTRm900 except the cranks at this moment. They will be Cook Bros till I find a smaller bottombracket (but this looks good also).

Cleaned and build up partly this morning...

Just love it, I'm happy :D

Thanks all, indeed I'm pretty tall 6 ft 6 or 1.96. Seathight is 85,5 cm c-t.

Better pictures follow, I have to clean the brakes and the chain, cross the innertubes in the frame and then it's ready.

Better pictures follow when bike's ready.

In real life it's really beautifull ....

Cheers,
Martin

Yeah, you make someone like me feel really humble when standing opposed ;-)

Cool bike and indeed a big one again... you also still have that 1996 Attitude? Ain't seen no pics of that one anymore, is it finished?

After months and months I finally found myself the right kind of wheels for my Attitude. Chris King hubs (black, old ones with simple decal on fronthub) laced into some nice Mavis 217 ceramic rims. Fitted these with some nice black Ringle skewers.

Als added another Flite, this one has a white logo on the back, the former one had the red.

Sun was shining pretty hard so pictures look a bit faded.....

Still on my wishlist:

Specialized tires (are in the house bu fitted on LTS his RTS)
Ringle Mojo (black) or something very nice.

Martin that's just Ace.

Do this bike some justice and upload decent and BIGGER pictures please. If that one close-up of the stem is what it's like for real than you've landed a winner.

BTW I have the same older black King hubs in the wheels that came with my Dekerf. I rode it today after fettling the build a bit and they are really really nice.

Enjoy!!

Wow,
that looks very pink/purplish...

The rims looks the same colour as the pink on the front of HLF...

Have you got pictures finishing the bike?

Cheers,
