"A BIKE IS JUST SOMETHING TO HOLD TWO WHEELS TOGETHER"
European Empella Frogglegs Cantilever BrakesetOK... so much for stolen website product photos.
The real thing has arrived and and is under construction. No hurries, no worries, I am still on the Clydesdale training program eating what ever the hell I want until the new program sets in November 1. Fast-twitch muscles must be under there somewhere....
Basement office is occupied nightly working on the fun stuff.
Naked frame SN 8C0146M --Word is that the limited edition CX frame is sold out.
Excuse me, ahhh who's bike is this?
As if my head's not swollen enough.
Who the hell is T.D.W.I.???
As of October 2, Dura Ace'd 10 speed shifters, derailleurs, bottom bracket, cassette and cables. Froggleg canti's & Ritchey cranks,wheelset and road connectors.
Take your time cutting the Easton carbon steerer. Add a couple of Reynolds spacers. Measure twice--cut once. Done. Usual list of "problems" Canti's need extra washer on front, crank has a wobble, wheels need 48 or 60 mm stems & wider than standard road tubes. Too bad, last inventory counted 16 new road tubes on hand.
Finished October 7, still some fine tuning remains but she rides smooooth....The bike will be featured as the December 2007 Yeti Of The Month on the international website http://www.yetifan.com/. 
One of 2 Yeti ARC CX bikes at work at the 9/29 Boulder Series race. Please don't dent the cones again Mr. Ramsbottom.
