I got exactly the same frame... all XTR and Xmax on. Was really stiff but the bicolor painting was awesome ! The paintjob of Klein in the late 90s was one of the best I've ever seen.
yes mixed things on the Mantra. Perfect for a commuting bike not for XC mountain biking. But it was a awseome bike in finish and a beauty ! Adroit and attitude shared the same geometry but the quality of tubes were better on the adroit, a bit more confortable ride and still stiff frame !
I agree, it is really stiff but pretty forgiving when things get rough. It feels just right and really light! You have owned some nice bikes...a Mantra and an Adroit..how do you compare them to the Attitude? I've heard mixed things about the Mantra.
