1990 YETI F.R.O. Finished

[Coleman]

This is part two for this bike, previous build here.

I've since looked at lots of builds, learned a lot from other peoples builds and had lots of ideas about what I wanted to do differently.

After considering solid white then solid turquoise colour scheme I decided to stick with the YETI racing colours. The fork on the previous build had an awful paint job so Kevin Winter worked his magic on them . I've also gone for the yellow bars and stripped the FTW stem back to bare ally as I've seen pics/youtube footage of them like this BITD.

Kit wise it'll be black XT, Ringle and Bullseye to start with, but may switch to Campagnolo when I source a suitable seat post and head set (any ideas for these?) I think the F.R.O. will suit the Campy stuff

Few pics of the build to date....

Lovely, you can't go wrong by not changing a classic build idea. Look forward to seeing this come together.

That'll be my next project ... aiming for a 90 FRO in the Tomac pre-C-26 style.

Looking forward to watching the build and stealing ideas.

Can we get a better picture of that stem please?

Can we get a better picture of that stem please?

Yeah sure - see below - it is much better in the raw than covered in a layer of powder coat I think

So pics of the build to date also attached - just messing around with the cabling at the moment trying to get the length of the outer right, still some work to do!

Finished the last few bits tonight - decals and stuff.

Here's a pic from the garage, will do some more when I get it out and about.

It's pretty much everything I wanted it to be - for now!
