1995 KLEIN Attitude 20" Medium (Sea & Sky paint) - SOLD!

[seasky]

Frameset sold £600 Nov 2015
Components sold separately.

Lovely example of this classic bike for sale.
I have owned it since 1999 and it is no longer getting the use or love that it deserves so its time to pass it on to someone new.

Features
Klein Attitude fuselage with Mission Control 2 control centre.
Middleburn RS7 cranks with Middleburn rings.
Hope Ultralight front hub on Mavic 117CD rim
Hope Ti-Glide rear hub on Mavic 117CD rim
Kalloy skewers, seatpost and bar-ends.
Shimano XT front & rear derailleurs, V-brakes, shifters and brake levers.
Shimano XT rear cassette (2 available - one for road, one for off road)
Schwalbe City tyres (off road tyres also available).

Overall the bike is in great condition and is in full working order. I have recently replaced the headset and BB bearings. There are a few scuffs to the paintwork here and there from regular use. There is also some oxidation under the bottom bracket and at the base of the head tube (minor) which has caused dimpling of the paintwork overlying it. I very stupidly managed to pull some flakes of paint off around the BB with a power-washer yesterday (see photos)....

That said, it is still a great looking bike, rides beautifully and is unbelievably light (~10kg).

The bike is in Devon, UK but can be shipped at cost.
£1500 ono plus shipping if required.
NOW £1250!

Re:

Shame on the paint as lets be honest that is the heart and soul of a Klein but we do have some very good painters who may be able to repair and blend those areas?

Only one question, What size is it please?

I'm not sure what size it is.
I am a 32' inside leg and it fits me fine with roughly 3in more to go on the seat post.
I will see if I can find out how to determine the size and post an update if successful.
I can make any measurements if you want.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks thesneaker - although I have no idea how you managed to figure that out!
I have just measured the seat tube which is 19' from centre of crank to top of seat tube.

Thesneaker knows what he's talking about. It's a Klein size 20 or M for medium.

The actual seat tube length for this frame should be 18,25 inches or 46,4 cm (measured from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube)....according to the Klein tech manual.

James figured out the size just by looking at it
If top tube and downtube meet like with your´s it´s a medium, if they cut into each other a S and if it has got a small tube instead of the rear cablestop it´s an XS.
On the other end: if those 2 tubes are slightly apart it´s size L and and XL looks like a Giraffe paired with a water hydrant
