These early Klein Bikes are so unique in the cycling world as Klein not only made the frame inhouse but also made the MC2 Mission Control Bar/Stem and Klein Rigid fork inhouse. along with internal cable routing and pressed in boxed bottom bracket, made for a very stiff and maneuverable ride. (it is said when you roll over a Nickel with the MC2 Klein you can tell if it is heads or tails) Think predictable – Porsche Cayan turbo preperformance and handling. many a racer made their mark on an Klein Attitude, on the way to the top podium, including Tinker Juarez racing on his #13 MC1 Attitude.
Rolling Art
Aside from the beauty of the Sea and Sky paint scheme, this nimble MC2 Attitude tips the scale at a scant 22 pounds.

Hand crafted in the original Klein Factory Chehalis, Washington, from gradient tubing.
Styled like no other Bike, seemingly straight out of a Hollywood Kustoms shop.
The MC2 Racing Attitude in Sea and Sky is one of the coolest paint jobs on a bike you will ever see! – please Look at all 92 pictures of this gorgeous epic Klein.
Full Klein Internal cable routing
Notice how the brake and shift cables go thru the frame and not on the outside, a classic Klein hallmark that not only looks better but performs better too. And notice how the rear frame the tubing goes from square to round; Gary Klein first developed the concept in 1973 as part of an aluminum bicycle project at MIT.
“She Float’s like a butterfly and stings like a bee”
Tips the scales at only 22 pounds.
We have taken the nimble MC2 Attitude out for a quick ride around the local (paved) roads here, she tracks straight, shifts like a fine watch, pulls up hills like a frighten mountain goat.
The Klein MC2 Attitude series are some of the best bikes Gary Klein ever made.

What’s the scoop with Klein?
Sure, they’re the most beautiful bikes in the world to look at, with many models featuring their own special “debossed” graphics, smooth welds, specially manipulated tubing called “gradient” that makes these the most perfect machines ever built-in terms of delivering power to the real wheel and precise control to the front…
Want to see more of why nothing else compares to a Klein? Check out the “Attitude ” label on the bike above, and the close-up. That’s not a decal…it’s called “de-bossed paint.” They actually mask off the topcoats, so a different color is exposed, creating a beautiful appearance found on no other bike (at least none that I know of). Trust me, these photos don’t do it justice, but you get the idea.
Did you know that Klein frames were welded using a special patented process at super low freezing temperature apparently this imparts something magical to the ride.
Even the least-expensive Kleins feature tubing and technology found nowhere else, including “gradient” tubing which begins its life as Aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, inspected every single foot for imperfections (bicycle industry standard is every 6 feet), and specially formed, tapered and manipulated into something very special…your new bike frame! Check it out…look at the chainstays of any Klein and the differences will be obvious. Look at the headtube/downtube junction, and the way they’ve created a special shape for the downtube to ensure a better joint.
The differences are everywhere…you can see them, and better yet, you can feel them when you ride. And now, you can buy a superior Klein aluminum bike for pretty much ½ the cost as the inferior wannabes.
