Nightstorm

Hallo and good morning

Congratulations.

But this is not a real Adroit. This is an Attitude frame painted as Adroit.

Good luck

That I know.

If it was a "Real" Adroit, I think I would have crapped my pants.

if you can't live with the wrong decals... i know a good home for it ...

congratulations... I think once in a lifetime everyone finds a pot of gold on the end of the rainbow... I really believe it...someday, somehow I'll get my Nightstorm with matching jersey (could you please ask if he's got one over ?)

Ahh nice score...
Forks are the best bit...are they proper Stratas though with the bigger holes and boron layers?

So can someone tell me the story of the "proper" Adriot Nightstorm as opposed to the Attitude/Adriot Nightstorm?
When I got in touch with Trek a while back about my Attitude Nightstorm (2001), they alluded to the fact there was a bit of story around the Adroit in Nightstorm but never volunteered any information.
Whilst we're on the subject, do you think the amount of interest in Klein in general would be worth cultivating if you were Trek? After all, what level of interest globally would there be for an anniversay series of Klein hardtails say in 2015 with original colour schemes and built properly by hand in the USA and not in the Far East? Cars have gone retro over the years - Ford Mustang etc so maybe the time is right?
Anyway, information please!

Size does matter! Real Adroit has bigger downtube

More to come.
Man, this thing is amazing.
The bars have some scuffs but the rest of the bike really is NOS.
The cranks and the RD are NOS as well.
I am going to take the cranks off tonight and see how the BB is.
Mike, who I bought it from, said that the BB is a factory retrofit so you can use a Shimano splined BB. Anyone shed some light on this?
Anyways, I talked with Mike for a hour about Klein BITD so I have some stories for you all but that will be later.
Frame is signed by "Nuke".

So factory has done threads on bb, like -97 models?
