I've decided to split my Klein Attitude. The components off it (mainly Green Machine Tech) are listed in a different thread. As per the title, it's a 20" 93 Gator Fade Attitude. Overall it is in nice condition, with a few exceptions which are:
1) The worst thing is a dent under the top tube. It isn't a structural problem, but it isn't pretty. It's probably 5mm deep and 25mm wide. It hasn't affected the paint fortunately.
2) There is the usual problem of some oxidation under the paintwork around the cable holes. This really isn't too bad though.
3) Some damage from chain suck although again, this isn't too bad.
4) The paint on the handlebars has chipped off, where brake levers etc have been fitted. This is covered when grips are fitted.
5) Usual small scratches that a 15 year old bike has.
Other than that it's pretty tidy. I'm trying to describe it in as much detail as possible so that the buyer isn't disappointed. Having said the above, the majority of people don't notice any of the damage and just say Wow!
It makes into a great riders bike; if you want a garage queen/museum piece then this isn't it. It's hard to price as the dent will either turn you off it completely, or won't really bother you. I want back what I paid for it basically, which is £500. Price is for frame/forks/stem/handlebars/headset/bottom bracket and front mech (just so everyone knows what they're getting!). If nobody is interested in it at the price, I try my luck on ebay in a few days time.
I have lots of photos, just ask! Viewings encouraged.....payment by bank transfer or cheque preferred. Postage at cost, determined by how the buyer wants it sent.
