Super cool frame with great attention to detail. Good score.

Are you going full rigid or front sus?

Even the name is cool! Like it very much subscript for build tread!

Re: An early, elevated, Christmas present.

I'd really like to put a Manitou on it. Or a Manitou 2 - that's the best looking vintage fork in my book.

But, if I can find a Switchblade or a Bontrager fork (there was one on eBay last week), I'd be happy with that too.

Re: An early, elevated, Christmas present.

there's a colour brochure posted on Mombat, and the logo is shown on the last page.

I just noticed in the catalogue a picture of a rear pulley equipped bike with a U-brake on it. I'm going to stick a wheel in the frame when I get home to see if that's what I need.

At a guess id say cantilever, which would point toward the age. But it would make a hell of a Christmas present if it was a U-brake.

from memory with an Xt build based around their rigid fork option, it built into quite a lightweight e-stay at roughly 26lbs.

I saw this (not mine)
I like the polished frame a lot

Is this one not owned by a member here...? :?

I guess you may have seen some of this, but if not it may help with your decals...? and for others who may come across one for sale.

Uber cool. Also signing up for updates from the Yukon.

Re: An early, elevated, Christmas present.

It's definitely made for cantilever brakes, so that won't be a problem. Though I found most of the bits of a U-brake I had from my old Rocky.

Unfortunately I don't have any fork to even mock it up with. I'll need a fork with a roughly 8" steerer.

I know Phil Wood makes spindles to fit this type of BB, but I'm sure I saw a picture of a spindle with a collar bolted on it, so you could properly space it. That makes sense, because you'd press one bearing in, fit the C-clip, then the spindle would push the bearing back out to snug up against the C-clip, and the second bearing is pushed in until it hits the collar.

But, where does one get that collar from?

I've not been able to even budge the bearings in my Fisher - I'd have a better idea if I could get that out.
