1997 Moots YBB - BETTER PICS! - Today! (Pg4)

[wadsy]

It's a 1997 frame, but the spec isn't

I liked the ride of the 18" YBB I had previously, but it was too large :roll: So now a 17" recently acquired with the help of Rob in the States

Plan was to build it up quite light. All parts weighed before assembly

A few pics, not great quality though :?

Love the bike! I would lose the Rollamajig though. I know that they offer clean cable routing, but that is just one more moving part to clog and cause problems. Just my two cents.

Very very nice, testamant to Moots that's a 97 and it still looks current with (more) modern kit on.

How do you find the YBB?

It will go when I fit the XO rear mech and shifters

I like the YBB, it just takes the 'edge' off which is good for me, nice and smooth. Only had very brief go on it, so very keen to give it a longer run.

I believe though, that with the combination of the low weight and the soft-tail I'm going to like it

Knew you'd say that, now I've fitted the white one
