Yeti A.S.-L.T. >>> My first build sharing

Hello old frame lovers...
-I'm going to try to share with you the steps of the rebirth of a bike that I thought I would never have for obvious reasons of means and that I had even removed from my list of bikes to acquire to ride with under my coconut trees along the beaches of my native island. A friend of mine in Germany went to get it and since then, it's in Danson67's hands for repair since the frame is broken in several places . This is the 4th frame I entrusted to him and I know that he will be able to make his repairs invisible and above all that I will be able to ride it without worrying about anything.
-Those who know me, know that each of my bikes is the result of assemblies of parts that have marked me during those years when life's crashes did not allow me to practice mountain biking. So please bear with the options I will choose. Between the rarity of the parts, the opportunity to get them is more than a big challenge from my island (New Caledonia).
-I would like to thank all those who offered me some, those who contacted me spontaneously to help me to acquire or to propose me some pieces that I thought were the exclusive property of the collectors of always, I would like to thank also some big names or former employees of big brands to adhere to my projects.
-The soul of the mountain bike and its great family exists and my dreams are coming true...🥳

Phillipe Vignes gave me these rare X-Country 26-559 wheels made by Steve HED in the mid to late 90s.
On almost all my bikes, Philippe knew how to find parts that make my assemblies so exclusive! I can't thank him enough 😘...
