The following are a few examples of early 1991 Adroits. Arguably, 1992-93 were the
most succesful years for the Adroit, but it was it was available in 1991. Here are some pictures of early prototypes of the Adroit as well as some show and test bikes. |

This is the first prototype of the Adroit. If you look closely at the seat and chain stays you can see the carbon wrapping being applied. The bike is built with an old Campagnolo gruppo, which is what Klein spec'd on their early bikes. |
First prototye of a Strata fork. Here you can see the Boron/Carbon epoxy wrapping being applied to the crown and legs. | |
1991 Adroit test bike. Boron/Carbon epoxy has also been applied to the MC1 on this bike. I will try to get more pics of this later. |

Another early 1991 Adroit, this was used in photo shoots for catalog and bike shows | |
Early prototype of the Smart-Bar and Smart-Post. Both designs were abandoned by Klein
due to high production costs and short lifespan of the elastic suspension components. |

Another Adroit fitted with the Smart-Bar and post, this was the actual test bike which was ridden by Gary to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. |
