I should point out that this is NOT my bike

My goodness.

£1,500+ for a heavily dented Attitude.

What is the world coming to?

Seems I am priced out of the Klein game for the foreseeable future, out of principal.

Oh don't fret... there are many good kleins out there for a reasonable price.

The gossamer is "very rare" so there is hope on the sellers part that it fetches a premium despite the incomplete fuselage and gigantic dent, not realistic.

Totally madness, for that price you will buy a pretty Klein Attitude in a more beautiful colour.

No fretting being done here!

I used to trade Kleins back in the 90s, could pick up perfect early examples for buttons.

On principal I won't buy into this whole hype thing, and to be honest I might actually be rather embarrassed to ride Klein now, though I always rode de-badged!

If anyone knows of an early Attitude stripped and polished with minor damage I might be in, but I am not holding my breath!

This has been listed 3+ times, imo the frame is worthless with a dent that size, do like the colour though, and i'm sure i've seen near enough 10 listed on Ebay in the last 5 years!

Holy crap :shock:
That's not a dent - that's a crater
Will not be blowing my hard-earned cash on that one, especially as he reckons p+p is $350......ouch.

Fill that dent with water and you could go swimming in it!!!! It's huuuuge!

At that price someone is def trying their luck!

 

[futuristicoldman]

Should the frame be listed as fire damaged? Looks like somebody has held a fag lighter under it to achieve that paint finish.

If it was priced appropriately I would bond a sleeve of multi dimensional cf on it.

I hate that colour scheme anyway.
