My first retro build! (Klein Attitude)

[stavros222]

Just finished my first retro build, and very excited I am too! Just thought i'd post a couple of pictures of it. Feel free to comment! It's not its final build as there are still a couple of changes I want to make (probably the tyres first!), I was just very keen to get it built! Thanks to all the members who've offered advice and sold me parts; very much appreciated!

I've included a picture of my second retro build, which is very much a work in progress!

One question I did have.....anybody know why the Gator Attitude has 'Test Bike' on it? It's not a sticker, it's actually embossed like the 'Klein' and the 'Attitude' text. Was it a shop test bike, or one for magazines???

Any info gratefully received!

Cool rides there fella.

The only time I've seen anything like 'test bike' as part of the paintwork was on a shop 'demo'. Test bike for Klein?

*Hollers* Carsten! Some info if you would be so kind! Thank you.

What a cracking pair

Absolutley Spanking !

the second build looks kinda trippy as it made my eyes go a bit strange - love it !

Cant wait to see them both finished !

Very nice , no idea about the test bike thing, surprised to hear that it's part of the finish and not removeable :shock:

I'd have a pair of black tyres on the Gator Attitude if it were mine though and your chain look's a bit too long, apart from that
pretty damned awesome .

Like the other Attitude too but not a huge fan of Spins.

I had thought about green wildgrippers on the gatorfade. Too much????

Friggin eck :shock: , well i'm not a huge fan of any colour tyres, except black so yeah i think green tyres would
be diabolicle, personal choice though

The wild grippers would look much better!! the red on the gator fade looks way out of place.

Same thing that I was thinking. I think it adds character to it. Heck the way Klein prices have been soaring on eBay, you could market it as "Klein Factory Test Bike...." and get even more money for it than without the sticker.
