the colour of it after new spray job when got is 'lambourgini burnt orange and yellow with cobolt blue stickers.
I think that would have put me off without even looking at the frame in detail 8)

Here is a Pulse of the same sort of age

same frame stripped from the rear ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

I am still convinced it is a Klein but a Pulse not an Attitude or even worse something else compltley. The Pulse was the budget Klein frame so isnt as fandangly built as the Attitude

As am I ferrit32.. But they all want to convince themselves that it isn't a Klein, so let them have their fun!

EDIT: That Pulse looks nice when polished! I liked mine, but the Attitude that I got to replace it was definitely more springy in the rear end.. The Pulse was rather dead feeling in comparison. Both went up hills like stink though!

I should have kept my gob shut called it a ringer and the gone ans bought it. Its only up the road from me!.

This would make a nice single speeder with carbon forks and some lightweight kit on it.

I had a Treklein attitude for a while, still a nice bike but not a patch on the real thing

No, unique to Klein.

Rear-facing dropouts? Not quite -- my Mountain Cycle Moho had them too. Not that anyone would confuse that with a Klein ๐Ÿ˜‰

98 Pulse. Klein tubeset welded by Trek,

Likely to be held together by the shite paint job.

Horrible

I saw a Motobecane branded bike in a 2nd hand sale in France the other week with a Klien fade paintjob on it. At first I thought I had a bargain (100 euros for a complete bike) but the stickers and detail as I got closer told the truth. Chances are this is a similar thing but someone is trying to pull a fast one (or did on the current seller)
