Still not finished but imo it's passable (unless you've been looking at recent Yeti threads. . ).
Bought and built for Mrs IDB1 and early indications are favourable.. 8)

Still needs purple chain tugs, chainring bolts and seatpost clamp, shim for the USE seatpost and a better rear brake..

:lol: :lol:

that's the best part of the lawn :oops:

It does have to contend with 4 dogs, Winter's only just over and we've only been here a few months... gimme a chance.... ;)

More purpleness required on the bike.. a little cleaning and stuff too..

That rear brake is bugging me somewhat.. the levers are for canti's I think so it's a little spongey.. bought a shorty V but it won't fit with the 26" wheel.

But she likes it and that's what matters most..

Horrible .... bleugh ....


:lol: :lol: :lol:

Looks cool built up like that with the purple anno.

IIRC the seatpost in there is a 25.8 and is the DMR original one.

Need to get that headbadge added :wink:

Weeeeell... the USE are all 25.4 I think?? Seems like a bit more than 0.4mm, but I dunno :?

The headbadge... yes... thing is, when I got home, my Son was well pleased that he'd helped out by sorting out that bent metal... he'd bloody flattened it!! :lol:

Seatpost is deffo wrong way round and I need more purple ano... and a rear brake solution ( :evil: )
