1992 Klein Attitude in Sunburst Linear Fade
Just wrapped up my turbo charged weekend of building bikes. That's about four bikes in three days and I have to say I'm beat, but feel accomplished. The last one in line was this 1992 Klein Attitude finished in Sunburst linear fade. This is a 1992 frame but was painted by Klein in 1993, hence the debossed decals. The build here is pretty straightforward, just M900 XTR. I'll most likely add a Ti Syncros post and some Ringle QRs to add a little bit of flair, but mainly here the goal is to let the frame shine.
It's so hard to capture the colors of these bike with a camera, the colors blend together so smoothly and remain so rich after all these years that even my DSLR fails to bring out their true richness and depth.

Hi Martin,
ReplyDeleteI own an Adept Linear Fade Klein. I used to ride it but got scared of someone stealing it. Do you ride your bikes, or just look at them? I am thinking of selling mine because I do not ride it. I love looking at it though.
Hi Sharon,
DeleteI do ride most of the vintage bikes I own. A few are ridden sparingly, but most see regular trail time. I'd be very interested in your Adept, send me some pictures at seconspincycles@gmail.com or via the contact form on the blog.
Thanks,
