1993 “one of a kind” Dave Yates DONKIS NOB

[danpiero]

Here are some photos of my DONKIS NOB which I have had since new in 1993 , expertly taken by legendary photographer Geoff Waugh back at the Malverns last year . I got the bike through sponsorship with Been Bag and Dave Yates and was one of the first to be made , it’s a one off as I had asked Dave if it could be built with wish bone statys rather than the traditional ones ,apparently he used stays supplied by Chas Roberts from a DOGS BOLX it has a 6 colour spray designed by myself and trick parts that were supplied by NTI back in the day , grafton speed controllers , use ti seatpost , Merlin ti bars , salsa stem , pulstar hubs , SRP ti bolts and full XTR M900 . Also of a picture of myself racing it in 1993 at the Grundig round in Newnham

It's kinda a Yeti Turquoise/grey fading into Bontrager dark purple - what's not to like

Lush! The Hardpacks look like they've survived pretty well

Not just an amazing and unique bike, but with equally exceptional backstory and provenance, wow

Lovely bike, looks like you raced it hard but condition says it is & always has been well loved. A credit to you sir!

Proper lush that! Awesome pics, especially the 1993 action shot. I love the Bean Bag logo jersey & shorts!

Bike looks in great condition and has been both well used and loved.
