Mountain Biking - The Yatesy's back and looking GOOD.

Wahoo ! It's back. New chainstay and upper pannier boss followed by a bead blasting and multi-coat baked on paint job. Gotta start saving for all the new stuff it needs...

Hi Astra,

She's looking good matey! I think I might have asked you before, but what kit are you putting on her again?

Cheers

Rich

Hi Rich,

Yup, she's looking like an absolute peach :). I'm gonna go Deore XT all the way including V-brakes, Mavic x517 silver rims and double-butted Wheelsmith spokes, Pace front hub, Hope titanium skewers, Answer Hyperlite bars, Salsa stem, X-lite seatpost, Specialised Pro saddle and for training, Specialized Nimbus Armadillo 1.5" road tyres.

In the next year or so, I really, really want to fit some of the 63mm travel PACE forks :p .

Sounds good mate!

I love my Salsa stem to bits, but have gone the A-head way... Hyperlite bars eh?...they're a blast from the past....I accidently crushed mine by putting on a pair of barends on too tight :rolleyes:

Check out Ebay for all your goodies, you'd be surprised what you can find on there!

Best wishes

Rich

I'm thinking of replacing the Hyperlites, they are SOOO light that I don't trust the aluminium not to have fatigued over the 6-7 years they've been in the garage :lol:.
