Hello,

I had Klein Attitude in past(1992-3?), only bike I really missed a lot.
So what to do...only thing what helps is find new one!
(thank´s there is ebay)
Finally I have Attitude again, only couple years newer.

1994 Sea&Sky, 20"
So now I only must decide how to build this beauty?

Rock and Roll baby! What a beauty she is! 8) :D 8)
That will be a lovely bike but please ditch the seatpost and that white Flite doesn't suit it either...

That's easy: come visit me and buy lots of stuff :wink:
Seriously: XTR M900, ano blue and/or green parts. Only top level parts spec, no penny-pinching with that kind of frame.

Yep, I have Flite with carbon rails and thinking about seatpost...
Syncros Titanium...or green/blue Ringle?

Full XTR, or XTR derailleaurs+levers only?
I have XTR M900 NOS - levers vaiting here.
Brakes?

nice find Shamus - IMO no anodising required. Nice clean silver parts with M900. And keep the Crossmax - they suit it well.

Thank´s it was nice wisit!
Was really nice to see your bikes...

And I got some great parts, Cook RSR-cranks(blue), Klein Deathgrip tyres, XTR m900 front and rear derailleaurs and Ringle bottlecage(blue).

So this way now, only brakes still under thinking?

And...what is best way to change those housing´s places inside downtube?
How it should be done?

ver very nice indeed

I'm a silver-man myself too, but if you were going for bling, on ebay.de there's the matching green and blue Paul's rear derailleur:

Enjoy!
