So we are in Wiltshire for a few weeks and I wanted to take a bike. The Diablo is perfect for the trails around here although I do miss not having disc brakes.

Evening all

Just liberated my old Dave Yates from my Mum’s shed. It has only been in there for the last 20 years or so.

Originally from Bromley Bike. The bike had Project 2 forks, an XT groupset and Bullseye hubs on Ritchey rims & Ringle skewers. I loved it!

I still have most of the parts but the wheels broke years ago. Can you tell which parts are well & truly stuck?

Strip down has commenced. Plan is for a light restoration but no rush. I have a feeling parts may be slightly less available than the early 90s...

A proper bike build,Dave Yates we're proud of him in Newcastle but he then moved south. Any bike made south not as good,the real bikes they were made in point pleasent,the real Dave Yates geordie bikes.
