Yeti Ultimate - The Result!

[pete_mcc]

Great build .

I am glad i had some white outer left .

So am I! Thanks for it, you can see it went to a good home

Looks great Pete, as mentioned to you before.

Well done!

Being picky, the Bullseyes and bar ends are a bit too much for me, but still a corker!

Strange to see a stem looking obviously 'bigger' than the frame tubes. I know this is normal with aluminum stems / steel frames, but somehow when they're painted to match they look wierd!

A polished A-Tac wouldn't seem so 'in-yer-face' somehow, but at the same time wouldn't be half as cool...!

i guess in action shots are not planned?

I'd love to work out how to get them bigger but fotopics always seems to resize them!

cool, thanks!
are the ferrules you used originals or repros?

 

[pete_mcc]

are the ferrules you used originals or repros?

Not original and not quite perfect as they are a little too thin on the end that sits in the frame, but you can get then from Venhill.co.uk who have a big old stock of ferrules in all sizes:
