My regular frame (an On One Inbred SiSp) has a crack in the downtube gusset and will be sent back to the dealer for replacement. In the meantime, a friend gave me this frame to build up as a SiSp conversion. The derailleur hanger is bent so it really can't be used for much else.

I've always loved the look of Kleins and now I get to ride one! In addition to the Mission Control handlebar/stem combo, the headset is really freaking me out. Looks big enough to stick my arm down the thing.

Is there a picture?

You mean beyond the ones in the original post? Both pictures (side shot & one down the "missing" headset hole) are showing up on my computer.

I have not seen many bent derailleur hangers on Adroits (or on ANY classic Kleins for that matter). What's the story there?

Ahhhh

Frame ID Question....

Isn't that technically an Attitude frame (1996?) painted and sold as an Adroit durring the Trek transition?
The Adroit had slightly different downtube internal cable routing and a larger diameter downtube.

As to the hanger...sure you can bend it back depending how bad it is. But I dont know how far I'd trust an aluminum hanger that has been bent and then straightened. I guess you can try and if/when it breaks off you'll have a dedicated singlespeed frame for sure.

yes, that is the Attitude downtube/frame. The "true" Adroit had the thicker 2" downtube and welded -on cable entries and the cable outlets further up on the down tube. And the re-inforcements at the water bottle cage mounts as they had used thinner aluminum for the Adroit downtube.

yes, that is the Attitude downtube/frame.

Just curious, is the Attitude a step up or a step down in the Klein lineup?

I just hope that I fit the frame reasonably well since I have no clue how to move that MC stem/bar combo.

Attitude is A Step Down

Excellent frame and virtually the same. The Adroit was just a more "tweaked" version.

you can remove the MC2 if you have the tool but not move... if you need the bar higher you need to find a riser MC2 (this is a no-rise), same if you need a shorter or longer stem.

That's a 21" frame or Large, second largest they have build. It should fit fine between just under 6' and 6'3" with that MC2.
