Most of the rust is only superficial. Click to expand... On the upside you can see whats going on, how many frames rot quietly away without the owner knowing until its to late. Yeti clear coated their bear frames, however I'll conceed they never had longevity in mind nor cold Germanic winters. Please start a new thread in the build section...nice to see something interesting. Lastly That rear brake position makes no sence, surley all mecanical advantage is lost..making them less efective.
