1991 Klein Attitude Gator fade, Grafton, Ringle, Kooka

Hi,
thanks for the nice comments – really glad you all like it - maybe I buy a Elho Freestyle Jacket from 1991 in matching colours...

I’ll flip the seatpost and keep an eye out for a matching turquoise front derailleur – it just needs to have the right clamp size, and re-anodizing isn’t an option for me. But thank you for the hint with Precision Billet - but these are all very rare.

Once the weather improves, I’ll take some proper photos.
Full spec list and total weight of the bike will follow soon.

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.

Good catch, but curious...is the whole post backwards or just the head? I think I remember the depth markings facing the rear, which is what I see here, but the head might be installed backwards on the post? If you take apart the seatpost head, it is easy to install it either way in the post. I often get mixed up which way is correct with my own moby post!

Clevis pin head is to the front, bolt to the rear.

Thank you! To be honest, I bought it without considering how to mount it, but this adjustment can be made easily. I’m proud to have gotten my hands on a NOS 1991 Ringle Rear Bubba Hub, 32-hole, weighing 166 g.

That's beautiful. I'll never forget the first time I saw one in the wild. I immediately went to the local Klein dealer. They were unfortunately well out of my price range. I ended up with a Pulse.

Same here — the one I saw even had a Tioga Disc Wheel, which was way out of my budget back then. I was only 16… so I ended up with an Etto Pro Racer instead. A few years later, I finally managed to buy a Klein Fervor. After it got a few scratches, I had it repainted — and sadly sold it in 2005. These days, I wish I could buy it back — so many great memories with that bike. Attached is a photo of my old Klein Fervor.
