1993 Klein Adroit Gator Linear Fade 18/09/2010 NEW UPDATE

[thesneaker]

Finally got one of my childhood dreams (still want Pamela Anderson though ) size XS, sadly no Strata but beggars can't be choosers, MC1 needs replacing as it has been cut and has bar end marks.

No Cracks, bubbling or fading, have a wheelset on the way and an almost complete mint M900 groupset for it, watch this space for build updates.

Pictures don't really do these paint jobs justice, looks stunning in the flesh.

1st rule of bike mechanics:

Never, ever, ever clamp a bike by a frame tube.



Lovely bike though, now you just need a Rascal and a Pinnacle.

I think I saw this bike up for sale very recently and whilst I was contemplating buying it, it sold. :x

Very nice indeed, especially the matching forks, imho.

nice. I think that was the year when only the Adroit was option as Gator? Remember my local having a buyer want an Attitude in Gator. But couldn't as not an option only later. The best looking bike with front suser forks IMHO

It must be the lighting in the pic, but it looks like the paint that should be lime-green yellow is totally green on parts of the chainstays and seat tube. Looking forward to the complete buildup and hoping you can adjust the bike fit to your size so you can enjoy it.

its only a wind up clamp,im sure its only tight enough just to stop it moving,seatpost is the ideal though for sure lovely frame

Looks nice Forgive my ignorance, I'm not expert in Kleins that holes in dropouts has been made originally by Klein? They look cool.

Only the Adroit had those drop outs along with Boron/carbon in the drop out The one frame i wished i had but never bought. I couldn't wait to buy a Klein and settled for the Attitude of 1993

Yeah the holes are original, all MC1 Adroit frames have them i believe, thanx for all the coments guys, and don't worry about the clamp its not tightened up!

As to the colour as i said the pictures never do Gators justice imo, the colours are alot deeper in the flesh, the blue especially, when this arrived this week it was the 1st time i had seen a Gator in the flesh and was surprised (pleasently) by how diferent the colours do look.
