Awaiting delivery of this frame - quite excited I've always wanted a Yeti.
Now I know it's not a an ARC, but it's nearly (well the front half is!) and should be a nice rider.
Thinking of running it as an SS to start with, and accumulating some nice bits as it develops.......so far for the build I have:
- 1996 Yeti Kokopelli medium frame in yellow.
- USE Tfi rigid forks.
- Mavic Crossmax non-disc wheels (bit tatty though, so on the lookout for something smart and retro).
- Mid 90's stripped/polished Maguras with TWP levers and braided hoses (though I'll be mounting them with the newer EvoII hardware as they are so much easier to set up)
- Answer Alumilite bars - old school ones, you should see how thick the walls are :shock:
- Middleburn RS7s - or some SSed XTR M960 cranks - the RS7s will look more retro, but the XTRs are pretty cool, though more modern.
- If I use the Middleburns then a Royce BB is waiting.
- Ritchey Alphabite/Omegabite skinwalls, or Specialized Team Master/Control.
- Pauls Melvin Tensioner - just scored one on ebay for £26, bargain!
- Controltech Seatpost (coming with the frame)
So I'll need a suitable stem, a nice saddle, and maybe some yeti grips to finish it off
