'93 Yeti Arc

[Factorycol]

I thought it was about time I did a thread on my Yeti Arc.

This has been a long term project, I always wanted one back in the mid 90s and after seeing the one Silverfish took to the Malverns Classic in 2018 I set about building my own.

I bought the frame and forks together as a package, but the rest has been sourced. I wanted to do something a bit different to the Silverfish one, so went with blue not purple.



Since that photo has been taken, its been with Gee Milner for a dream build video, that'll be released soon.



So I'll post links to that as soon as its live.

Lots of people helped me source the parts over the past 3 years, so if you're reading this and recognise some bits - thank you all!

Great Build!

Thanks! It's been fun sourcing all the parts from all over the globe. I've got some plans for some changes next month, which I'm looking foward to seeing how it shapes up.

Amazing build!

Would love to get my hands on a frame like that too some day..
Probably would build it slightly (or waaay) less boutique than you did, so I can ride it, but yours looks spectacular!
Will you be riding that thing of beauty also off road?

Thanks! Yes, it took me a long time to find the frame. Finding them without cracks isn't easy. I have modern bikes to ride, so this one is for our showroom at work for people to enjoy.

Um.

Yes please!

Fantastic. Tire/Saddle/Grip combo especially.

That’s fantastic. Even though I have one of my bikes in BOTM I’m going to say why don’t you enter yours.
I think it will be one hell of a month for the quality of the entrants

 

[pw_pw_la]

I have to agree with @Yetichaser

Get it in there!

BOTM is like the Champions League right now!
