About 1 year ago, i get a nice old Yeti ARC frame.
The seller told me, that the frame is just for show, because it was cracked at head and seattube.
Nothing new for a Easton Yeti, but i thought about to bring the frame back to life.
The frame arrived to me and it looks terrible:
3 times cracked headtube:
and the seattube: :shock:
Straight Seatstays and the frame number says build in 1993
So the frame goes to http://www.gebla.de/.
A frame-builder, with a big heart of vintage frames and the "FTW" of the German IBC Classic Forum.
So the cracks will be cut out and the plan was to put a 1 1/8 inner-tube into the 1 1/4 head-tube.
So the reinforced headtube will be better prepared for crackes. Also a wish of me, because i collected some parts for the bike at 1 1/8 diameter.
