thats why I'm ashamed to say mine only gets a ridden very occasional
Opportunity for someone to make repro hubs or hub bodies out of the right alloy. Sure there would be a lot of people after a Ringle hubs that don't crack.

I'm about to take my Yeti to a bike expo here in Finland on Saturday. In addition to new bikes & gear, there is an exhibition of retro bikes from the members of a Finnish vintage bike group on Facebook.
I noticed that I haven't updated this thread for a looooong time and there have been a few updates on the bike.
So I've changed the following parts since my last post:
- cranks changed to Grafton Joystix
- pedals changed to NOS M747s
- wheelset changed to Ringlé Superbubba/SuperEight hubs / Sun Rims CR18 rims
- zipties removed from Magura hoses, replaced with Jagwire thingys that are bolted into cable stops
One thing that I'd need to do is to replace visually nice brake boosters to functionally better ones. The reason for this is that the current boosters have only a round hole for bolts and not an oval one like the original Magura boosters and other "proper" ones. The round bolt holes mean zero adjustability and as it is the brakes are not set up optimally.
