Frank lays down "Yeti" bead when he works on these bikes
It's flatter and more washed out than the welds I usually specify.
I like 'em big. Parker liked 'em bigger.
Speaking of flat this is at the Spooky Safehouse and Country Club deep in the heart of Vermont ski country;
My friend Garson is pretty good at riding bikes, and sometimes I can even take a picture of him without cutting his head off!
This is his road bike.
He scored the frame for free and we fixed the fucked up derailleur hanger.
Not too bad for free eh?
The frame even came with the sweetest seat ever-
Yeti back ends
Ive been trying to get a back end made for my 96 YETI sherpa for years (steel 2 piece type) Would you guys be interested in bending me a back end up and ill get it welded by a local frame builder to me.?
It would be a dream come true

Re: Yeti back ends
Loop stays are a real pain in the butt to make. After Frank makes tooling to bend it and wastes a few pieces of metal getting right you're not going to like the price.
Chris Herting at 3D racing has been doing loop stay stuff lately though.
He's going to want to weld the bike back together himself though....

Re: Yeti back ends
Well thankyou for the reply anyway. I did try Chris Herting a couple of years back but he said no. Guess the Sherpa may as well be scrapped

Frank got into vintage road bikes a few years ago.
Here's a super massaged Stronglite/TA crankset he's working on for a mid-70's weight-weenie project;
So-Frank has a suspension patent that I'm not allowed to talk about...
Here's a 5 year old proto of a bike that you never saw, OK?
This is a proto for a disc adapter to put modern brakes on an old Metalhead or Bandwagon. If it works out in the real world a batch will be made for sale.
A hand formed functional brass saddle for a "handmade" project in the works...

Forgot to ask in our email conversations Mickey, do you need a test pilot for one of those Bandwagon disc mounts?
