Here's one for you.

Can anyone give me the name of the E-Stay frame produced by Dave Yates?

I am currently reading a book called Adventure Mountain Biking, that my FiL got from a library book sale. It was published in 1990 and in it there are a series of pictures showing Dave making an E-Stay bike.

Anyone got a name? Or better still, a picture?
 
There is a picture of it in this thread. Im sure i loaded it up, not the best pic, but there is also a custom built version made for Mr Cruds lad here too.

If you could Scan the pics you have that would be another great addtion to the thread.
 
Ah yes, found the photos.

Here are the best two pages from the book.

Great pictures Neil.

A master at work :)

I wonder if I can find a copy of that book. Is it a good read so far?

It's very dated, and there is a huge amount of space dedicated to clothing :?

I think my FiL got it for next to nothing, so if you can find it for a couple of quid it would make an interesting addition.

Author is Carlton Reid
ISBN I 85223 388 5
Publisher The Crowood Press, Wiltshire
 
Thanks Neil, I'll have a look and see if anything comes up on Amazon later.

Would like to do a bit more reading on the old mountain bike scene if anybody has any other recommendations.
 
I would love to think someone somewhere has an old unloved unused E-Stay in there shed, i think we should all keep an eye out for Overburys, Dave Lloyd and Dave Yates e-stay frames.

3 models yet to grace our retro community as yet.
