Has it been resprayed?
And is that an external BB i spy?
Yup! Chas Roberts (IIRC - was before I owned it) swapped the seat tube & it was sprayed at the same time... would have looked a bit of a mess otherwise I guess.
M950 BB & (polished) cranks though.

A spec list!
Things to change are the headset if/when this one gives up the ghost (it's annoyingly good!), I'd like a 29.4mm seatpost to do away with the current shimmed one, & I think I'll polish the spider. The saddle's a bit tired too, so I might throw a flite at it sometime. Pretty happy with the rest of it though!

Yeah... I really should get round to sorting that out - they're not lacquered IIRC.
Thanks

Yes, get rid of the shimmed post. Shims are bad anyway, but it makes it also easier for moisture to enter and the original FAT seal won't make sense than.
That is a handsome bike you have. Never rode one extensively, but it is said by many happy Buck riders that the Buck offer the same handling characteristcs as the Yo while offering a more comfortable ride at the same time. Yo's are sometimes perceived to stiff by skinny people.
Your Buck is a rider ?
