Yeti ARC - Retromod

[WWC]

Hello everybody

New to me retromod Yeti ARC.

Fully confess 98% bought not built!

Came across this on ebay and just couldn’t resist. I know the effort it takes to pull these together so seemed a bargain.

It’s not dialled in yet and have some amberwalls to throw on but I think she’s looking pretty good as is for the time being.

Cheers

Will

Nice! Don't spoil it with amber walls!

i've seen a few people build these, I'd be tempted to get bigger yeti decals. or shop around for someone who could do a decent vinyl wrap & get a yellow dart for the front of the frame

given time & a bucket load of cash you could go with Hope (or Garbaruk) purple cranks, hope purple rotors

looks like a fun project!

Lovely bike. Needs dart decal/paint up front. I'd go for tan walls but I'm just an old bloke that rides old bikes.

Nice, love the forks. Were they an official release or have they been painted like that to look like the old SL's?

Black looks clean agreed but I do loves an amber wall!

Ooooh will be getting some 3DV cranks at some point that's for sure. And matching Hope hubs!

Would love to get a dart design on it but I honestly think that's a bridge to far for my disappointing level of tenacity.

Not sure they made them in 29 flavourer thankfully?
