KLEIN Attitude 1992


In 2001, I obtained 1992 Attitude with MC-1 and Uniklein fork, but the bike's condition was very bad. Presumably, the bike seemed to have been exposed to the weather in a decade. Paint erosion occurred all over the frame (original paint-scheme was Horizon Linear fade) and Head/BB bearings got stuck inside.

Despite the bad condition of the bike, I restored the bike with the help of AND; a Klein-specific tuning shop in Japan.For my request, AND repainted the bike in blue, cut the cantilever brake guides and installed the AND special parts such as XTR BB; therefore, the appearance of the bike was further changed. After this drastic modification, The bike could fulfill all of the function.

I usually ride this bike on the mountain trails in Tazawako Area, the northern Japan. Sometimes I enter in the XC races and use this bike. On the single track, the bike is very easy to control because of the lightweight frame and quick handling. The Uniklein fork absorbs the shock very steady. This bike is the best single track device for me.
