If only it was mine. I do have a '95 Attitude in the team colours but that HLF paint job makes mine look drab.

It rides rubbish on rough stuff, but sublime on smooth tight singletrack.

Damn.

I don't have room or permission for another bike, sadly. Keep telling me that it rides rubbish.

Put it this way PJM, I still prefer to ride my rigid Klein more than any other bike!

When I was a nipper and I heard about 'Gorilla warfare' on the news, I always wondered why we were waging war with apes. I later learnt that the word was 'guerilla'.

That klein is lurvely.

Used to have an Adroit in the sunburst orange, stiffer than a stiff thing from the land of stiffness, anything over 2 hours was hard work on it, still the most stunningly beautiful bike I ever threw a leg over........wish I'd never sold it now

Oversized oversized everything. A thing of beauty for sure but a flawed beauty that would not live up to the dream today. Just my opinion, I'd hang it on the wall rather than ride it.

BITD they looked so fat and chunky but now he tube profiles are unremarkable.
My '92 Klein Fervour sits wrapped in blankets, the odd pootle on a sunny day but at that age, being made of such skinny walled alu I'm getting a bit nervous about breaking it; especially since it's only the 2nd I've ever seen in the UK in its colour.
Rides really nicely though, apart from on really steep techy stuff where the short fork and steep head angle are a world apart from modern stuff. The handlebars are the same height as the crown race on my Bandit!
