A very, very pretty Yeti ARC...

As usual,

The whole purple bling make it look like a clowncar, I know.. not making friends.

that’s because I spent some time in the circus in a previous life…..

If it was actually riddled with crack, it might be worth the asking price

Riddled with “crack’s”……

Trigger's broom:



The purple is a bit much, but it's very much of the era.

I didn’t almost write Triggers Broom in the listing….

Ridiculous price, as usual. I don't see people falling all over themselves to hit the buy-it-now button.....

The price is just a pitch, I sold my last 92 ARC for similar money so that’s my starting point. I’m not in a rush and i am also open to offers. If someone is serious.

What’s your thoughts on “true” value?

Yours I take it, @RichardMardle ?

At least you have a sense of humour. About 50% of the listings here have the piss ripped out of them, while the others are fallen upon like old ladies seeking a bargain at a jumble sale.

It is. I don’t mind the banter only adding some balance…. I know it’s not for everyone

£4,900 pound? For that?!
I don't think so.

You and me both.

Fair play for being a good sport. I agree with a previous poster who said repaired is better than cracked, sometimes good repairs can result in the frame being more rigid and less likely to fail than even a sound frame. However, there are repairs and then there are 'repairs'.

If you have any pics of the repair work that show how well it was done, especially prior to powder coating, that might persuade a potential buyer to take the plunge.

Just to clarify my earlier comment, the bling is all amazing stuff. I just feel that these frames, and others that are similarly iconic, look so good that they don't need the eye candy boost.

It's obvious you put a lot of effort and love into the resto, and the results are impressive, the price seems a bit optimistic but I wish you luck with the sale.

On the basis that Frank the welder did the repairs …. I think any buyer wouldn’t be too concerned

Sure, but to see the workmanship can't hurt.
