Yes I like the "character marks" comment!

This is potentially the age of Klein I'd like to add to my collection - though not necessarily the condition. However, for future reference, is the riding feel of the earlier 90/91 Attitude markedly different to a 95/96 Attitide? Or, simply put, if you had your pick of any model year of Attitude purely based on handling/feel, is there one particular year that is better than another - or does it simply come down to pre Trek and post Trek models for the major changes? Advice/thoughts appreciated.

From my experience MC2 frames rides differently than MC1 frames.
MC2 has shorter chainstays and steering feels more faster. They are still very stable.

So go for a pre '93 for a slighlty more compliant ride by virtue of the small diameter tubes? Not that I think my '95 is harsh, but it is stiff. It is more compliant that the '98-Trek Pulse, which is by far and away one of the hardest riding alu frames I've ridden. Taking it over Dartmoor isn't for the faint-hearted!
Thanks for the advice - now just got to find a nice, original example.......
