    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:

    Nightstorm:

    Sea & Sky:

    Or Gator Linear Fade

    And two outside contenders:

    Rainforest:

    Bones (which even glows in the dark!!):

    1st Gator Linear Fade or close 2nd Moonrise.
    Both yummy and both iconic Klein fuselage colours.

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

    This is the Bones ‘glowing in the dark’:

    You should know the answer…

    Wolfman

    Otherwise it can only be “Team” pink/white/green

    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 😳

    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.

    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…

    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!
