1995 Klein Attitude Nightstorm SS

So this is not the way I wanted to build it, but the weather has been so nice here the past couple of days that I wanted to ride it and see what I think.
It is a little small, but then again it is a Klein.
I built it with a Paul SS wheelset, Paul Moto-Lites, Paul Love Levers and Cook cranks. All of which have been collecting dust someplace in the garage.
I used a Paul Melvin chain guide so I can use my Dos freewheel.
I think it came out okay.
I was going to build it with a XTR M950 group but I think I like this better.
Here is what it looked like when I bought it:

Do know if the stem is aluminum or titanium? In the pics, it has that slightly darker gray color look of titanium.
 
Aluminum.

Thought about that, but then the stem would not be original.
Being a one off prototype, I figured just leave it as it is.
If I was going to build it right I would have sourced out and XT group in silver. That may make the stem seem right at that point.
 
Looking good...!
Pauls are perfect!

If you decide it´s too small for you...let me know ;)
 
Im not a big Klein fan but the Nightstorm is my favorite design. Thats a really nice looking bike mate.

Im curious...

With the oversize headtubes on the Kleins, would Cannondale Fatty sus-fork fit?
 
I have seen the Cannondale "p-bone" fork on Kleins before.
Not sure if an adapter is needed.
Most that I have seen are because the owner wanted the "rigid" look.:)
