Kloset Find - Klein Kontent

[vtwinvince]

I recently was going through a local enthusiast's parts bin, as he was selling some parts. Then he mentioned that he had a couple of bikes for sale, including a Klein. This is what was stashed under the stairs in a closet. Can someone tell what year from the serial? Paint is original and in very good shape. Plan is to bring this back to original spec, more or less. Unfortunately it's too small for me, but I've always liked this paint scheme.

Not much interest in this brand? Apparently this is a '91.

Apart from an early Mountain Klein this is the only one I've really hankered after

Nice!
What hubs are on that?
By the way it is a size 18” XS

That is lovely. I always wanted an Attitude with box fork. A bit small though…

Yes, the condition on this one is about 9 out of 10, and although it's small, I couldn't resist. It has original M730 bits, the hubs look like LX Parallax, but I don't see any logo on them. Plan is to bring this thing back to all 730. Was there a 'factory spec' for this thing, or did it vary according to where you bought one?

Great find! I really love the Dolomite paint scheme and the box crown fork.

I did lot's of digging when I got my Attitude and found a great thread (I forget where). I figure yours is a 1990. The thread I found mentioned the earliest Attitudes started with a ATXXX serial number followed later by BATXXX in the 1990 production year and in 1991 dropped the "T" in the serial number like this: AXXX, also the box crown fork crown was phased out in favor of the Uni-Klein version during the 1991 production year. The 2DC in your serial number being Hexadecimal equals 732
