Hello, all! This is my first time posting on this forum since I was probably only just twelve. That being said, when I was twelve I sold a Jamaican Gold 2001 Klein Attitude Comp to a collector in California for 275 USD. Ever since then, I have missed that bike more than any other, and kicked myself for my naivety. So, a Klein pops up on craigslist with the description "Klein 816, medium frame". What? There is no such thing! So I figured that I had found a guy ignorant of Kleins who was selling his dads old bike to make some quick cash. As you'll see from the pictures (his were of slightly worse quality) it looked like it may have been a jamaican gold! I called immediately and set up an appointment. To my dismay, it was nothing like my 2001 Attitude. But, the more I looked at the bike, the more intrigued I was, and it is in near perfect shape! Well... The frame is. Some scuffs here and there, but otherwise no dents. So I bought it. The paint is the oddest thing I've yet to see on a bike, even for Klein. At first glance it looks like something I would've done when I was twelve. Hunter Orange over the decals. But upon further inspection it becomes clear that this is no rattlecan job. It's almost as if it was intended to cover the decals so that they only show in jussst the right light. It has a ton of ugly comfort parts strapped on in place of the original parts and a rigid fork. I didn't think any Klein mountains came with rigids? It is crazily gussetted between the chainstays on the bottom bracket and WHAT THE HECK IS THAT? Chainstay rim brake? Any information regarding model, color, year, and value would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
