I know tomianson got a rare adroit with forks bar stem combo for sale don't know what colour hope this helps
What size do you need?
I've still got my '92 Attitude - but its in 'Team Dolomite' colours. Mine has a near brand new Suntour XC Pro group on it including the XC-Pro greaseguard hubs,BB&pedals, Klein deathgrip tyres and Klein Grips, and new Avocet Gel saddle from the period. My frame & fork could do with a refurb to look its best as the bike was last used in Spain and sun bleached the bright colours a bit.
As yet I've not found anywhere reliable or trustworthy enought to repaint it - if you hear of anywhere in your travels as a fellow Klein fan let me know. Thanks and happy hunting.

I must have tried to get it to them about 3 times in the last 10 years now - but the proprietor either never returned my calls or said they were too busy or I had to deliver it in person - there was always something that meant that never happened for me (and that's before you consider the not inconsiderable price to take it there). I might look into it again in future months - as I've assembled a complete nearly new XC Pro group for it, NOS Klein Deathgrip tyres and grips - so it deserves a premium restoration (as you can see by the pic below - everything is there but the faded paintwork lets it down - would be a terrific bike cosmetically restored
That's lovely that, and its actually a size I could ride (whereas my Attitude above is bordering on the 'slightly too small for me'. Its just a fork paint job away from being stunning, but is actually very colourful and nicely finished as it is. Great bike 
In other news for J above who started this thread looking for one - not sure on the size he needs, but if looking for a smaller frame - I don't think you can go far wrong with this one that I noticed has been on ebay for some time now and I believe is very reasonably priced now for a bike that is still with its original owner. (its basically how I wished mine looked).
I am also not sure if its viable to repaint mine these days - as to do it properly I was quoted nearly half what they are worth these days - so that's another reason mine has stayed hanging on the wall with plenty of 'patina' still attached to it. A team Dolomite colour Attitude will always be my personal favourite as its the first one I ever saw in 1992 and the colour choice and quality of finish blew my mind at the time.
