Thanks, had since new and resprayed by Dave to this colour (can't remember when though).
Couple of reason really, don't get anywhere near as much time to ride as i would like and having this sat round does not do it justice. Also, i would like to fund a new Yeti frame and selling stuff is the only way for me. You can prob see from one of the pics, i have some kit too.

Beautiful bike.
Remember the original paint scheme...
The white was a really deep kinda speckled affair.
Probably pearlescent I guess you'd describe it. Seemed to flow really nicely with the brazing. Very tasty.
Why did you respray - simply a bit scratched up, or did you no longer like it?
Presumably DY refused to re-decal it with DN which is why you've done your own in Bauhaus font...?

Yeah the white was lovely.
The only reason for re-spray was like you say, was starting to look very used, it had done many a season of Nationals and cross.
Dave, was more than happy to re-spary and re-decal and i remember that he actually remembered building the bike (not sure how, guess he just remembers his work and not many done). I do remember though that to re-spray with the 10 col paint scheme was VERY expensive and basically could not afford it, so i let him come up with this two col scheme, a little like the Klien's. As for the decals, i guess he just did not have the same font available.
Going to be a shame to see it go, but times move on. Glad i have found this site though, as i hope whoever has it off me will take care of it and re-build it back to it's former glory !

I love both paint jobs on this, the original is lush, but the new one is very nice 2.
As for the graphics, I kinda agree I would change the D K bit in font style but it looks so fresh and clean like a new bike, shows what a respray can do.
