Getting my recently acquired Attitude resprayed in a more 'authentic' Klein colourway (by a rather talented chap off the Retrobike forum), just need to decide which of their many awesome paint schemes to go with. Current paint is a poor attempt at 'Moonrise' (I think?), nice paintjob but not a great fade attempt:

Current contenders for the new paint job are:
A proper 'Moonrise' respray:

Or Gator Linear Fade

i really wish i could find someone i'd trust to do a respray of original or better quality
gator or moonrise for me. certainly seem the most authentic...
1st Gator Linear Fade or close 2nd Moonrise.
Both yummy and both iconic Klein fuselage colours.
Gator fade.
bones or moonrise...

Jonrock on Retrobike is your man, very good work by all accounts... this is one of his resprays:

Gator Linear Fade.
Got to be Gator Linear Fade
You should know the answer...
Wolfman

Otherwise it can only be "Team" pink/white/green
gator linear fade is my favourite
always wanted an Attitude in that colour
always remember drooling over the the ads in Mountain Bike Action 8)
Gator Linear Fade
Really don't get or like the Wolfman tbh! 😕 And Dolomite (Team), whilst the most iconic of Klein colours I guess, doesn't do it for me either 😳
The Bones is stunning.
Jonrock on Retrobike is your man, very good work by all accounts
birthday present to myself me thinks, after the summer 🙂
Gator linear fade
Gator Linear Fade is my personal favorite but I am liking the Bones too, have never seen Bones in the flesh though :D.
Gator or sea/sky for me.
How much is the retrobike guy charging?
How much is the retrobike guy charging?
from £350 for a linear fade up to £450 for the Storm (frame, fork, bars - includes stripping and prep work). Bloody decent I reckon, there's a lot of work in these paint jobs!
As it's an Attitude, what about the team pink/white/green? IIRC, it wasn't a fade though was it, so not so creative in terms of the painting skills. If it's the fade you want then I'd run with the Moonrise or Gator. I remember a catalogue I had with the Bones glow-in-the-dark one - great stuff.
sea and sky or bones
bones or gator
not sure what tint oakley glasses are you using to look at it 😉
Another vote for gator from what you've listed but for me it would be the original green white red paintjob.
So that's:
Moonrise = 3
Nightstorm = 1
Sea & Sky = 3
Gator = 9
Rainforest = 0
Bones = 5
So far... personally, I'm leaning towards Nightstorm for sheer creativity and 'artiness', but have always loved the green/blue fade of the GLF as well, and Moonrise is another great fade scheme... aaargh, decisions decisions...
johnrock gator linear fade = end of discussion although his nightstorm is stunning also
sea and sky
Sea & sky, Gator or Bones would be mine choices.
BONES!
Bones
Dem bones dem bones, dem dry bones.
Seriously, the bones one kicks ass. 😈
+1 Gator
Sea & sky closely followed by sunburst 🙂
My fav's in order are
1) Sea & Sky
2) Moonrise
3) Team green / white / pink (Although I realise it's not on your list)
I also like the Koi colour as well.
I would have normally said Gator or Moon-rise for a classic Klein... however, that Bones bike is stunning.
BONES!
Bones
is this first past the post?
moonrise
I want my bike in Bones!
Sea & Sky here, always liked the original pink/white/green on the early attitudes
What about nudie ladies!
I might do that with my bike. Just get pages out of Razzle (Readers' Wives Special FTW) and stick them on, then lacquer over the lot!
It will look boss.
I like sea and sky but it seems a bit too tame for a Klein, so I'd opt for moonrise.
Why o why couldn't you just let the wolfman Klein dissapear!
If anyones wondering - look at the seat tube - yes it is.
Yes it is what?
