I've been ogling that on Paul's cycles for weeks - love it!

Thats where I got it from. £1600 is a bargain. Been frame protecting last night. Ordered Sunday, appeared yesterday !

Lovely looking Yeti.
Curious if the rear triangle will have enough room to take the larger 650b wheel?

yes it will... obviously, you are not going to get a 2.25" in there, but a 2.1" racing ralph, or better still, thunder burt will fit nicely with room to spare.

no such issues up front, thanks to the lefty fork.

i'm just living in hope that a pair might appear on ebay, as i'm too tight to pay the £400+ on a new pair.

Haven't got it yet, but heres my bike to be, picture courtesy of my local bike shop's Facebook (close to work anyway - town where I live has a good bike shop, just crap stock imho).



Very much looking forward to the weekend!

It is, was originally going for a Cinder Cone, then this, then a Cube 29er, then this again. I'll tell you tomorrow if I'm happy.

Great price, never thought to ask if the shop had any 2013 stock! Pic?

Nice, I like the colour is the polar opposite and a nice shade, I think my wife would have preferred me to have that one!

[Deanno1dad]

Never tell your wife how much bikes are..luckily mine still thinks bikes are at 1980's prices .

[AndyWoodall]

Oh no, never. Because this looks fundamentally like a £200 bike (wheels, frame, bars, brakes) she has no idea.

Mine just bought the latest at £1600, so some wives are great. I am worried, mind you, she is going 'clothes' shopping with the daughter tomorrow..........

1985 Hutch trickstar



Out with a few lads for a beer the other week



My next project, Mk2 Raleigh Chopper tandem..





Should have it sprayed & built in a month or so.

[Justin S]

That chopper, however cool it looks, I am sure it will be lethal fun LOL

[stepaway]

For off roading.....



For the road.....



For looking at!........

[ALawson]

I remember those Kleins, seen frames and bike selling for silly money on fleabay!

Looks very good.

[Crippo]

Just built this, haven't ridden it yet but should get my first ride on Wednesday. Can't wait. Will be running 1x XTR when it's available. Using a chain guide for now until I'm confident the chain will stay on.

Bar tape colour dilemma! Shall I stick with red or be brave and go for white?

[walm]

Never understood white bar tape (or saddles).
Hands get mucky.
And brown stains on white just looks like some unfortunate underpants.
