Ok something is worth what someone else will pay for it but, and this may be my inherent Yorkshire nature coming to the fore, but this seems to be madness:

You're paying for the pleasure of having a relatively nice example of the bike you lusted after as a kid, you're not paying all that for the off-road capabilities. Some people pay that much for a car! crazy fools.
Seems fair to me. Klein Attitude - it was a dream bile back in the day and is in quite good nick. Would prefer green, white and pink though!!
That is from an era when everything was starting to get exciting in a tech way... It's a bit like buying a ford mustang or something. It will go up in value over time, and will remind you how things have improved.
I have a 1985 Raleigh USA bike.... Dreadful angles, one piece welded bar and double stem, handles like crap, but is a lot of fun (but cost £70)
If that's genuinely worth that much I better go dig around in the shed!

Spot on Ontor! I'm currently watching (like a hawk) [s]a relatively nice[/s] an extremely rough example of the bike I lusted after - it will be mine 😈 . You can't put a price on lust 😆
You're all mad I tell 'ee, maaad!
have seen Attitude frames easily going for that in the various fade colour schemes that Klein had. GatorFades, Moonrise, Sunburst all fetch good money and if you own an Adroit with the carbon boron seat stays and original rigid fork and stem/handlebar fuselage you're in the money
