Eats Squid
I’ve loved these things since I first started riding but never had the cash to buy a new one. It started life owned by Dave Mclaughlin (Wacka), a Junior pinner and Yeti Team rider who rode it overseas. It was then purchased by a friend of mine who painted it all black. He rode it for nearly a year and then snapped the hanger off in a crash (it’s not a replaceable/bolt on item). I swapped some parts for it and she sat in my shed for over a year collecting dust. I eventually welded a dodgy hanger on and threw it together with some of the old random used parts I had lying around. It was then used as a spare/loaner bike. The hanger eventually snapped off again so it sat once again collecting dust in the corner.
I finally thought it was about time I really gave her a full overall. A new original paint scheme was sprayed on thanks to Phil Leslie. A full factory bearing kit and reproduced decals were sourced thanks to Andrew at YetiFan.com. Original metal head tube badge/emblem found on Ebay
