This needs no introduction...a very rare Dave Yates DONKIS NOB hardtail mountain bike. The frame is a mixture of Columbus and Reynolds 753 tubing, expertly fillet braised and hand finished. The frame was custom made for me back in 1994 by Dave himself...still got the receipts !. I'm 5ft 8 ins..30 " leg.....BB to top tube is 14", BB to top of seattube 16"..Top tube is 56cm. Its a fantastic bike to ride, lightweight and with a longer top tube allows the rider to be more in an 'attack' riding position...the short chainstays means its a fantastic climber. I had it resprayed by Dave a few years ago in the dark grey you see. There are a number of cosmetic scrapes and blemishes to the paintwork mainly through storage and offroad fun...never crashed (thankfully !) and there are no dings...everything is straight and no worries with the frame. A couple of very slight pinpricks of rust to be honest but these could easily be touched up..again these are cosmetic and don't affect the integrity of the frame. As for the rest of the components;
Pace RC35 MXCD suspension forks (carbon fibre stanchions and work great)
Front wheel - Hope hub on Mavic rim - Rear Wheel - Shimano XT hub on Mavic rim
Shimano XT front & rear mechs
Shimano XT brake levers
XT & XTR V brakes
Shimano Shifters
Almost new Ritchy chainset
Mavic stainless headset
Synchros cattleprod stem & Easton EA50 handlebars
Use seatpost & Rolls saddle (worn round the edges but still very comfy)
Recent Connex chain and Shimano cassette
Schwalbe land cruiser tyres
Its with a very heavy heart that I have to let the bike go...its a super rare bike (especially in this condition) and been with me for nearly 20 years but a new Ti bike means something has to give...any questions please get back to me before I change my mind ;-).. I'll get pics up asap but feel free to email or check them out on eBay.. I'm davetweddell at hotmail dot com
Full build £500 posted or frame, headset and forks £400
Forgot to say... I can provide with a pair of easton riser bars....
