Martin screwed me over, he got me to go with him by saying he had no waiting list, and the bike would be delivered in 8-12 weeks, week 9 I asked for an update, he then said if I don't like the time it's taking go somewhere else, and it would now take another 2-4 months. Needless to say I was...

Hi Sylus I have found a painter who airbrushes whos work is very good, just no experiance with Klein paints or doing frames. That is why any help with the questions above would be a great help if anyone can Thanks.

Hi Chaps, I finally got my frame back today from Martin at ETOE today after 10 weeks and no painting, £250 out of pocket later. I am going to try out a new painter who is local to me and if it works out he will be a recommended painter but there will be some hand holding in this...

Hi All, I have come across this thread via another contact on this site and wanted to share my experience with Martin at ETOE. As a lot of you have most likely read my thread I will not bore you with the email trails to back up my comments but they are available for any of you that...

Dirt Disciple, who convieniently joined yesterday, or should we call you Martin LOL. In what world you live in I don't know, if you think that its OK to cost someone £250 in postage, not deliver on your terms for which you start, deliver no customer service, and to top it off turn into a rude...

Thank you. And totally agree that he should have sent it back but then customer service is not something he operates within his business. So far it's costs me 250 to get a frame delivered to him, and now picked up with nothing to show for it. Hopefully the new painter will be good and other...

Hi, I have already found a painter, and have arranged for it to be collected from Martin tomorrow. It cost me £130 to do, and in all honesty I don't trust Martin anymore so would rather leave him and this whole nightmare experience behind me. Thank you for your help and advise.

Hi gents, just to clarify, Maetin has told me to get my frame picked up within 14 days. So there is not option of him completing the frame, I now have to pay for the frame to be picked up and shipped somewhere else after paying for it to go there in the first place. Any other ideas please let...

Hi again Gentleman, I have just read the rest of the replies, for some reason it didn't update me when you all kindly replied. I am glad 95% of you can see that in this case Martin was unessarily rude, short in all responses when all I ever did is ask for any kind of...

Hi Gents, Jon contacted me to say his waiting list is 12-18 months, but gave me another companies name. They are called Spectrum, based in the US. Has anyone had any experiance with this company and does anyone have contact info for them please. Thank you in advance. Ashley

tell me about it. Sounds like a bitter twisted person that has a real issue with people that can afford to get Kleins sprayed. While he is the one who has to paint them. I am still in shock at his actions and attitude along with his comments.

As per the email I received today, it will be another 2-4 months. Dear Ashley, I earn only 600€ per month for 70 hours of work per week. I have to pay over 3000€ per month for materials, oil and energy. Do you think what you pay will be enough to finance all the costs for such a...

They gave me a lead time of 8-12 weeks and clearly said there was no waiting list, again documented. Surely if more stuff came in after that it waits behind mine. If you saw the emails and attitude I have had from that company then you would be shocked. I will post it all up in due course as...

At the moment he has my bike, and I am concerned that he will not return it or worse still damage it. I do have all of the emails he has sent as well as mine and will be more than happy to share them as soon as i know my bike is safe. Let me just say they are based in Germany. Its so...

Thanks, I have now messaged him. He was the other choice I was given originally, Man I wish i went with him first.

Thanks, do you have any contact details for him.

Hi All, as many of you may remember, I have been asking for recommendations on who to get to paint my 1991 Klein Attitude, I was advised on two individuals, The one I went with has totally let me down and had me waiting 9 weeks, to then tell me to stop asking for any updates or to even...

As much as it pains me I think that I have to go with some XTR brakes as i cannot bring myself to get the frame drilled and risk ruining it, and do not want an ugly cable running across the frame. I have also decided not to paint the wheels. Thank you all for your comments though...

I stand corrected, they are spin wheels not spinergy's, probably why I couldn't find any for sale originally as I was searching for Spinergy, doouughh. Regarding speed at 24mph, that was when I was 14 years old, I would expect to be a hell of alot faster at 30 ( lets hope anyway, otherwise I...

As you can see from my bikes, I road ride aswell with extremely fast bikes, so I'm looking forward to trialling the Klein when its ready. I'll be sure and document if it happens for real and not only in my dreams so don't worry.
