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.

What size is the frame on that, Klein's are quite deceptive on frame sizes - it 'looks' about my size but baring in mind my Attitude above measures at about 19.5" - I think this Adroit could be a good 21-22"? (unless they changed the geometry alot between say 92-94)
