Portsmouth Bargain Trek Y-33

[jimbog]

I must confess with a mildly smug face that it was me that managed to score this bargain. I was the first to respond and was able to collect within an hour. Nice chap that was selling it, just wanted it gone. Like any old bike it needs a bit of love but I’ve not had a proper chance yet to take a good look.
I will be splitting for parts as I have no space for another ride. If anybody is interested in any bits then pm me, although I’m quite tempted to keep some of the bits for future builds.
The frame on first inspection looks sound but the suspension bits probably need a rebuild but I’ve not tried to add air yet.

The chap gave me a bag of old bits which which was a Brucey bonus. The rear mech seems ok (jockey wheels may need replacing) and the shifters may just need some WD40 to free up.

I also got a pair of these hideous monsters but they are brand new and good for somebody

Great score! I could be interested in the xtr shifters & blue Hs33

Good buy! I particularly like the seat post bolt and the XC Pro thumbie that activates the shock lockout.

Let me take a decent look this weekend and see what is working and what is not. I’ll come back to you

Yes, the seat post bolt was a complete hash so It’s gone in the bin already
