I’ve finally decided to sell my 1996 Yeti Arc.

Having sat in my cellar for 18 months, I’ve got to admit that I’m not going to get round to fixing it myself.

When I bought it, I didn’t realise that it was broken, but on close inspection, the head tube is cracked.

I have investigated the repair options, and it’s not difficult. But does require a vice and a drill to prevent the crack from spreading further. I don’t have a vice at home, and so I’ve done nothing!

I did have a collar made up, which is the main part required for the repair, and that will be supplied with the frame, along with repair instructions. The rest of the frame is in OK condition. Never as good as the ebay seller would have you believe though. A bit of chain suck. A sticker that masked a couple of paint chips. And general wear and tear. I’ve taken some high quality photos that should allow you to zoom. But if you want any others taken, feel free to shout.

I can also supply the frame with a set of colour matched Judy SL’s. And if desired, the silver Chris King headset, Ringle Zooka stem, Syncros b/b, an embroidered yeti saddle and a retro yeti racing jersey that all came with it.

Lets say frame and forks for £120
Or with headset, bottom bracket, saddle, stem and top for £275

Please see here for detailed pics

Any questions, just ask.

PS
I'm pretty sure it's an 18". It's either that, or a 19" but will check tomorrow.
 
Wow. There's been a lot of interest in this. Turns out not everyone is as lazy as me!

To answer the questions that I got:

It's a 17.5" frame. Which i found surprising as I would have sworn it was a 19". But you can see the full geometry on page 4 from here. And the top tube definitely is 22.8", although the other dimensions listed are identical.

The Judy's still have movement. I would presume that they're not perfect, but not having managed to ride the bike off road I can't say. But they do compress and rebound.

The jersey is in XL. It's in pretty good nick, a small amount of bobbling on one arm. And what looks like a small amount of oil on the left shoulder. I've now uploaded some photos on flickr, so you can see them here.

I don't really need anything, so not interested in swaps at this point. I've got too much stuff as it is! Cash money talks.

Interest so far has been in the frame and forks, so if someone wanted more of the bundle, I'd have a chat to them. But otherwise, justkev is in pole position of he wants it...

Hope that answers the questions, but if anyone has any more, then shout.

Cheers
 
Right. After a bit of faffing, everything except from the saddle has sold.

So if anyone fancies an embroidered Yeti saddle, let me know!

Would take offers around £50 for it.

Cheers.
