Moots YBB (steel)

[Canuckbiker]

It was fun helping you get this one finished Roy

I couldn’t help wondering how many hours must have went into the frame construction, it’s really a work art with so much attention to detail

As the saying goes “they don’t make em’ like they used to”

The liner fade paint scheme is super cool , we’re guessing the frame to have been made in the 87’-89’ timeframe possibly? Earlier bikes seem to have seatstay canties

Great build choices also I think, the early Deore touring group is not often used but very functional and great looking

Hope we get a dry day soon so you can get it out on the trail!

i know nothing about the pedals. some sort of shimano. i have been told
they might be part of the same group of parts as the derailleurs and shifters
but have yet to find anything to back that up. any shimano experts out there
that can shed some light on this?
i think they go quite well with the build regardless of what they are.

the front canti brakes i was told by rsmtb were a one year only. not very common as well.

Regarding the pedals, Roly ( @Rod_Saetan ) has something similar for sale here:

Very, very cool build. I'd expect nothing else from you Roy!

Ah, thanks, the ones on the Moots are Adamas I think.

Indeed you're right. Looked at the pictures on my PC rather than phone and can see it clearly. And it doesn't look like they have the crazy sized axle/crank thread! As soon as I saw them I was pretty sure I had seen them on your site, think I've looked at all the stuff on your site many times!

Everything about this bike is interesting.

Fascinating bike. I suppose the serrated lugs are a nod to the alligator on the Moots head badge?

Ruddy Nora, that's bloody lovely.

This is so fine. I love my Kent Eriksen 29er and more recent Bingham road thing because I’m a bit of a fiend for all things of Moots heritage. Clearly I’m not that well informed though because I never realised there was a steel YBB of this era.

Really like the paint job and patina but, most of all, the original Mr Moots head badge…

Chapeau

Wow, that's a beauty Roy. A feast for the eyes!
