Oh, I get it. If you have the money and the opportunity later in life to get something you really, really wanted when you were younger, that was always out of reach, for whatever reason, by all means go all-in to get it!
I've just done the same thing, at around half that price, and for something nowhere near as thoroughbred as an Adroit with an MC1.
It's all subjective, of course, I've just never liked how Klein's look. Not then, and not now. They just don't really do it for me. Even though I can admit to and appreciate the design and the innovation that went into them. They do tend to show up these days looking more like a design accent to a danish modern living room though, rather than a thrashed down a mountain, lovingly and regularly serviced riding machines!
That guy you talked about with the Ferrari? He's probably got one in the heated garage over at his lake house!
Oh, and I'm 38 by the way. Does that qualify or disqualify me for something? I reckon I'm old enough to understand the power of nostalgia, especially in regards to 90s mountian bikes. I mean, isn't that why 99% of us are on this site, building these bikes in the first place?
Did I sound like I was 22?
