Only the sort of loving a man in a shed with some fork spare parts and harsh language when it all goes south can fix.

I can't believe how awesome I thought these were or how odd it looks now.

Damn, I still like them but it looks more like a regular bike than some strange URT thing. Never had a go of one but love to give one a go. If it was all ball burnished then it would look the goods.

I hear you. The Y33 were nice and probably one of their best work. They look good if anything.
The little kid in the house behind me has an old Trek Y bike and would have no idea what it is. I respect this 12 year old because he somehow got this instead of a department store Big Box bike.

I’ve got a Y-11 in the shed. It’s not original anymore, it’s now disc and single speed. Light duties only now.

Love it, but those horse shit attracting bidon placement is a downside. Last thing you want is to have a quick swig of water with Equine turd flicked over the top of the water bottle.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Is that a quill stem?Had this frame hanging around and was about to sell it but figured I probably had enough parts in the shed to build it up. Next step is to find a suitable child seat to cart my daughter around - any recommendations?
Maybe incompatible but I really rate my mac ride.

Something about this bike looks very comfortable.

It’s not urt. Tiny little linkage behind the bb. Pivot down by the back axle.

Oh yeah, I know the RTS isn't a URT. From what I've read it is one of the earlier designs that worked but I have never slung a leg over one.
Its cousin the LTS sure was plush for its time.

She's only small about 9kg, and probably looking at front seats. The yepp mini looks pretty good

I have a Thule mini ride along, it's easy to take on and off. Getting the kid in and out is harder than a rear seat, but they see everything and love it. You might find your bar needs to come back/up as the seat and kids helmet is in your chest. People complain of knees being outwards but I was expecting it, I found it okay for cruising distances even with clipless. It's rated to 15kg but size is more an issue, smaller the kid the better. Also make sure you've got space on the steerer, I can't remember off hand what you need, maybe ~30-35mm.
