Donor YETI frame

[slimjoe]

I thought i would put feelers out for a 17.5" YETI Pro FRO/Sherpa. I only need a good condition loop stay 2 piece back end. Not concerned if the front is dented or corroded. Hens teeth? Yes but worth a try :shock:

still looking

Still looking for a 17.5" Mid to late 90's YETI steel frame. Loop stays need to be in good condition, front triangle unimportant.

What are you making?

 

[slimjoe]

for repair

What are you making?

This is to repair a rather sorry YETI ive owned from new. Id only had it a few years when the rust starting creeping through the chainstay!

My friend is a superb framebuilder/engineer but bending a 19mm chromoly tube like on a YETI loopstay is tough.

Any help would be appreciated.

Heres a picture of my sorry Sherpa!

Sorry no Yeti frame but I have saw a builder recently with his own jig making looptail back ends. I can get you some details if you like?

Looptail

Sorry no Yeti frame but I have saw a builder recently with his own jig making looptail back ends. I can get you some details if you like?

Yes please fella. I have two 1500 19mm chromoly tubes ready to bend. The back end is a two piece affair and not like the early FRO back end.

Really appreciate this.

a galvanise company use a chemical bath to have the rust internally removed, to stop the rust from spreading.

you can then have the holes brazed? it will be strong enough for road use.
