Re: Y - E - T - I - A - R - C

Im going disc with the ARC as Ive got a nice pair of black Fox's disc only.
Regarding the RM its work in progress but stick around it'll be out this summer :twisted:

Re: Y - E - T - I - A - R - C

even I would have probably had it built by now!! lol
it's a nice frame, the Tranny gives me my carbon fix now though!

Re: Y - E - T - I - A - R - C

got the syncros stem and fitted it today, but i'm not too happy with the result!!
didn't realise how high it would be compared to the ringle zooka,
it doesn't quite fit!! :twisted:
ok to ride like that or not do you think??

Hi,

I wouldn't take that bike out of the shed with that set up... Not even on the road.
Just stick with the Zooka !

Really like your retro-m*dern ARC, here's my version:

Enjoy yours !

Re: Y - E - T - I - A - R - C

thanks man, nice ARC btw!
yeah, i pretty much know the answer is 'no it's not safe'
just really wanted to go the syncros route with the stem and seat post!
oh well, a NOS sycros stem might be up for sale then! :cry:

Re: Y - E - T - I - A - R - C - update

so i managed to finally finish the Yeti today!
fitted the titanium Spin headset, the Syncros post and the Salsa clamp. Along with that went a carbon brake booster, and swapped out the gold chain for a silver, think it looks much better!
all it needs now is some mud!
