Thanks, the orange/yellow "Koi" does sparkle. Other new stuff will be wider bars and a shorter stem. Here is a pic of the shock...

Bought this last week..... Most parts came with the frame, including mainly XT groupset, MRC Steely Danz cranks, Hope/Mavic wheelset and some ritchey SPD pedals. It was missing a few bits, but nothing major. Frame/shock are in mint condition. The short travel Indy XC's will be replaced by some...

Thinking of selling some MRC Steely Danz cranks, which are overall in vgc. Only flaw is a "ding" (possible repair) on the non drive side (see pic). No cracks and threads/square taper in perfect nick. Wonder how much they're worth. Seem to be pretty rare from what I can make out from net...

Yep, UK only, sorry. I live in Stockholm but the frame is at my parents place, packed up and ready to be shipped to its new owner. Hope it goes for more than 36 quid!

Here's my rare Trek Y50 "Rasta" for sale on ebay UK. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RETRO-1997-Tr ... 1135321552 Not sure if you can blatantly promote your own stuff in this section, but no harm in trying eh? you can view the thread of when I got this frame here (I was trying to find out more...

Thanks for the +ve responses. The pogostick effect will be investigated, as i'm sure its inherent in the design (and age) of the bike but think its suffering from being too "dialled". Anyway will play with the rear shock settings and springs at some point.

Just wanted to share a new purchase, bought a couple of weekends ago in Stockholm area. The bike is in good condition overall with a few marks on the frame and forks. The Delta V fork seems to hold air and compress/rebound well. Rear shock feels like a pogo stick - it seems the spring is...

okay, thanks all for the input. Seems to be clear now that its a rasta front end with a replaced rear. Now I need to find the swedish for annodising....... Probably do the back end in red anno at some point.....

Nice five-0! 8) No plans for mine yet. Just to clean it up and keep it for now. Whats a rasta worth? Any ideas? Would also like to know how many were manufactured, but it seems from google searches that there are not too many details on the "rasta".

Seems like thats what has happened. It seems to be rare anyway!

Thanks for the help. Obviously is the rasta front end and shock, but why silver back end? Wonder how rare the frame is? The link to the trek history http://cool386.tripod.com/trek/trek.html makes no real reference, although there is a pic of a y50 with the text "This version of the Y50 appeared...

Found this for sale recently & bought it, but not 100% sure what it is!!!! Came as a full bike, which now is stripped down.... Obviously a Trek Y-50 (from '97 I believe). However can't find it in the Trek catalogue. They did a Y Five-O and a Y-33 in 1997, but can't find this frame anywhere...

Thanks to 24pouces and magicmistertea for the pics. Mallet method worked....I have got the spindle out. Now the task of sourcing a shorter version. Found mombat in the US, but they're charging $39.99 for the spindle and $30 for shipping :x

Jeeez, sounds like a right pain in the backside to get it out.... Anyway, thanks for the replies.

:D wrecker by name, wrecker by nature. Contstructive comments also welcomed in how to get the danmed BB off cheers!
