I've managed to post links,from Flickr so will just use that to big pics. Such a pain to edit photos all the time :D

Here's my offering I thought why not. This started as just a regular Trek YSL200 frame. Trek Y's were often criticised for the rear URT 'lack' of suspension so I decided to remodel the frame incorporating more usable suspension. Chopped off the original pivot point, added a bottom bracket to the...

Thanks I just like building things really :lol:

Re: This is it now, with a Gary Fisher rear URT and full XTR etc Hell yerr Im always out on it, it was originally built for use so may as well keep using it :D https://www.flickr.com/photos/94740449@ ... 317474013/ IMG_2191 by Clannagh, on Flickr

How do you upload bigger pics on here? I get a size limit of 512kb your Foil pic is over 2meg! How does that workout :roll:

Yeh the Kevlar was a pain to work with had a couple of attempts with it. As this is just a one off build a made a jig out of wood to keep things aligned, proper Heath Robinson looking affair but it worked. Plus I measured measured and measured again. I wrapped the carbon by hand in stages...

Re: That's a nice Foil love that Tri spoke, have I seen it on Y Foil group maybe? I've a friend in US with one and I've literally just bought one. Havnt seen it yet as it's still in the USA. And I'm in UK so working out a means of getting it over here. I went for Uni-direction carbon in...

Internal cables too ;-)

Re: Hi Yes i'll up load some pics asap, I have a full photographic build, its been sooooo much work! In the meantime here are a few snippets. 1: Original tired looking carbon Trek YSL 200, not much remains of it now just the centre section, all three ends, BB, Stem and seat post were chopped...

Re: Looks like it will clean up just fine. There should be a link to upload pics in FULL EDITOR mode of this forum, 512k max size though. Rear shox needs to be 165mm mount centre to mount centre. Don't go any longer as it will make the steering angle to steep. Mine had a 190mm fitted when I...

After many many months I've just completed my unique one off Trek YSL200 build. A major criticism of this model has been the rear suspension or lack of it due to the original URT frame. Great when seated but stand up and it becomes all but in effective due to the riders weight acting down on the...

Meanwhile I've been building something else, a one off very modified Trek YSL 200. Check out the tapered headtube and rear frame :shock: :D

Thank you there's a lot of work gone into this frame. I'm thinking of letting it go soon to ebay to make way for other projects. :-)

Post some pics. Only tip really is just enjoy it make it very usable and make it your own Good luck :-)

Lucky Guy very jealous, ha Just a word of a advice from my own experience. keep it safe! in the house if possible. I've had two prized MTB's stolen in the past year one only last month from a locked brick garage (harder to break into than the house). Get it insured and make sure its itemised...

Very sad news

Hi That sounds a good story, good to hear a bit of history. There is next to nothing on the web. Any idea what year it was 2000 maybe? Thanks Craig
