Posted elsewhere, but sadly it's time to let this go. 1991-ish Yeti FRO. No serial number. A fever dream of early nineties Yeti with neon-matched Accutrax, Bullseye cranks, Taperlite bar, and custom painted hubs that you won't find anywhere. Laser-cut "team" dropouts. Other component...

Wanted - orange flite saddle. Pref good condition but will consider anything. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Pics? Thanks!

Hi all, it's been a long time since I started a thread here. I hope everyone is still doing great. I had a project dropped into my lap for which I'm struggling to to land a few critical parts: - Marzocchi XC 500, pref in good condition, 1 1/8 threadless but will consider other options -Red...

circling back on this, it does appear LS built. Thanks for everyone's help here! It was fun coming back to this place after being away for awhile.

Thanks boys, I'm just not seeing any detail that's convincing me it's a Marin or a litespeed.

Yep, it's a mess and not sure it's save-able. I'm just curious what it is

Hi Everyone, Can someone help ID this thing? -Merlin Serial in line with what year this appears to be (93-94) -Litespeed ish cable guides -Marin and Merlin decals -Dropouts I can't ID 1.125" headtube NOT: Dean, Raleigh, Bontrager, DBR Untitled by Mike Wilk, on Flickr Untitled by Mike...

FWIW, I don't think that is a Critical Racing seatpost. Critical racing's logo was horizontal, the setback bend was much closer to the clamp, and the clamp itself was much different. The C logo reminds me of Caramba, but I can't find any record of them making a seatpost.

I know. Of course you never notice these things until after the photoshoot

Not really. It's a pretty esoteric brand and the parts are mid to low end. You have $300 there tops.

That's cool! Build is shit, but the frame is was made by Graphite Technologies out of Van Buren, Maine, USA. They started making tennis rackets and then moved into composite bike frames. They made the first Trek 5000 carbon frame before they developed OCLV. Their in house "brand" was Bik, and...

To think how easy it would have been to put that bike together 15 years ago. Now - it'd be downright impossible to do it OG.

Re: Re: I loved that one. Well done on this one too.

Thanks Pierre. It's no longer mine, but it's gone to a better place where it gets ridden regularly. Regan's bike is superb though. Really well done and thought out.
