1991 Klein Attitude Gator fade, Grafton, Ringle, Kooka

Finally done!
My childhood dream, 33 years later — a 1991 Klein Attitude in Gator Fade with blue anodized parts.

Almost two years of searching, countless messages, forum dives, and eBay hunts — and it’s finally complete. Well… almost. Still missing the Paul Components front derailleur in blue, but that one was simply impossible to find.

It’s got a lot in common with the legendary Klein Adroit in Gator with Ringle parts — I used to read that article over and over again back in the day. Funny how many of those experiences still ring true today, especially the great connections with people who made these parts back then.

Not everything is NOS, but it’s exactly how I imagined it.
Perfect for the ice cream shop – way too nice for the trails.

Apologies for mentioning it... the Moby is on back to front. Rotate it 180-degrees and put the saddle back on. Which incidentally is also a lovely saddle. One of my favourites.
 
Thank you for the note. I also habe the Flite Evolution Kevlar here, but black fits better. Also better pictures, once its to raining ...
 
Congratulations! You can really see the work and time that has gone into this bike. This is wild!!

Have fun with it, wherever you go.
