Thank you for your reply Jonrock. Do you have any recommendations for my situation? The other side of the frame is perfect (or close enough), the other has a great yellow but all the colours with red show various states of fading.
I don't have any experience painting bike frames but I do have...
And just to add there is a fair bit of emotions at play aswell. Early 90s Klein Attitude was my childhood's dream bike. And since I finally got one last year for reasonable price I'm very protective of it :)
Thanks for the suggestion but I would like to keep it original since its a classic bike - bought for riding - but a classic nevertheless.
Velociraptors are great tyres, I already have a set on my other bike. Since I'm based in Finland I think I would get a better deal for the Smokes from some...
Re:
Thank you for your replies.
A total repaint is out of question. The original paint is so lush and in such a nice condition besides the fading. The other side is perfect, only the other has fading. (apparently stored in a garage with a one side window for the past 20+ years.)

Kind Regards

Thanks for suggestions. P-bone might be a safe bet. Atleast its light. In my understanding Pulse has a geometry desinged for using front suspension. Is P-bone a direct fit for Pulse?
Actually I think for my use Frankenklein would be well suited, looks like its good for rolling over obstacles...
Greeting everyone. I have just found a nice Pulse frame and I already got most of the parts I need for the build. I'm on the budget and I'm not looking to do any restoration, but would like to follow the spirit of the original.
What good options there are for the fork and handlebar/stem combo...
