I've wanted a Yeti Arc for about 15+ years after seeing the bike in MBUK and reading about it winning various races / championships. I think it's still one of the best looking hardtails out there today.
Rather than buy an off-the-shelf Arc I want to build one to my spec. I'm not a weight weener otherwise I'd build a bike around a carbon frame. I'm building this bike for me. I want this bike to not only look the nuts but I want it to ride brilliantly as well.
The build doesn't have to be the latest and greatest up to date brand new parts. I'm happy using second hand older parts too.
Ideas welcome.........
