I remember there was someone who made some DH triple crowns using curtain poles, did quite well on them iirc.

Ha, love the trailkings, got a set stashed away along with some original Flatboy and Cully's. Would love to find a set of the original Atomic Industry pedals before they became Atomlab.

Love it, great build and story. What pedals are you running? Atomlabs?

You had me at Stanton Ti build...

Lovely. What size frame is that, the head tube seems quite short?

wheres the pic of the full build? And totally with you on things that never seem to go right, and could have been done better by yourself. Annoys the hell out of me and complaining only gets you more frustrated about it.

Thumbies were more reliable, and lighter. Also probably cheaper... All hail the thumbie!

I did wonder about the chain, thought you might have a fiendish solution like using a chain off a rear internal gear hub etc. but I guess that would definitely be cheating :)

Gorgeous, timeless build. I've a lot of love for Canadian parts as well. just bought some PNW bars. My favourite Canuck manufacturer was Straitline, still use there defacto pedals and SSC stem on my DJ/4x bike. Such a pity they no longer make MTB components.

All that carbon fibre and lightweight rims and the hub has a steel freehub not the Ti one...

I managed to score an MRP ramp control cheap during the build, so had to scrap the old model air cap. That's real dedication to building a true replica. You realise that once this is built you're either going to have to buy another Yeti to be able to ride and upgrade and freeze the one this is...

Might put it on singletrack world if you think there would be any interest. I'm betting there would be a helluva lot of interest. Lots of talented folk on there as shown in the 'what's the last thing you made' thread but IMO this blows them all out of the water.

Holy shit this is incredible. Could have stumped up for some DT 240's instead of 350's though :) Intrigued to know (but not taking anything away from the model whatever the answer is) how much of it will articulate/move/rotate etc when it's finished - stem/forks turn in the 'headset'? Cranks...
