1991 Klein Attitude Dolomite

[Tomianson]

I've been fortunate to own many Kleins, covering most of the colours, but i have never had a Dolomte, and its one ii've always wanted.

Anyway, this one popped up recently, and I'm really happy.

It's a 1991 20" Attitude. It was originally painted in the classic Dolomite colour but was i fairly poor condition so it was repainted by Jonroc a good few years ago. It's lovely, and nice and early with the 27.2mm seatpost and Box Crown fork.

whilst it's currently built beautifully with some lovely kit, I'm going to rebuild it much more period/catalogue correct with XT kit for that classic early Klein appeal.

So I need to source wheels, thumbies, brakes, brake levers and a rear mech.

Nice, you're going to need the black XT post as well. Here is my 17" example, which I brought back to stock (more or less) with M730. Way too small for me, alas, so it's up for sale.

Yep I’ll need a seatpost too.
Yours is lovely, sorry you have to sell it.

First of the bits swapped. Here’s a very tidy Xt crankset.

I have a 27.2 XT seat post, but lower half is a tad worn.

Cheers. How long is the post and how long is the worn bit?

There is a cure
