I feel very lucky to have it! Even more so in such impeccable condition.

The paint is pretty much flawless, and I don't think the bike had ever really been previously ridden.

NIce teal wicked. Seems wiceds and vintage MTBs in general are low trail. I wonder how well they would ride w/ rack and luggage up front.

I went for a bikepacking overnighter the previous weekend and found it to be more fun with the yoeddy than my backpacking rig (Thorn Nomad mk2)! still though it’s the maximum I would load it before I start feeling that it’s loosing it’s riding character…

Wickeds & TCs have the same geometry with a 1.75” fork rake compared to 1.5” on a Yo, so they are very stable and importantly comfortable for touring fully loaded front and rear.

Do you find Yos less stable than wickeds? Quicker? The lower rake should give it more stability at high speeds but this is theory. The ride experience matters more.
