Short but Sweet!


So after some sweet talking, the bosses here at JAC lent another beauty of a bike! I've already got the John Atkins Session but this a little smaller and a very fun winter/play/training/mini dh/trail/do anything and everything bike!





The frames a fairly rare Yeti 4x full sus that as anyone who's owned one will tell you makes an awesome short travel go any where bike as well as a more than capable racer as I proved in 2009 when I raced the British 4x on my previous one.

The build on this incarnation is a bit more robust than my last with some 100-140mm adjustable Rock Shox Revelations up front to suit any situation, Hope Hoops built onto DT XR500 rims for a light yet resilient wheel set, full SRAM group set for perfect shifting and as always Conti Rubber keeping me glued to the floor.





I've added a few little flourishes to the build like a PIMP Gold Hope chainring and a set of Renthall Fatbars both of which we've just started stocking in the store! Hint hint ;-)




She got her first outing at the DTV local DH race in the forest of dean a few weekends ago, a few pedally sections and plenty jumps meant this was the perfect weapon for the job over my full on Trek Session DH bike. I can safely say we bonded straight away and many bar turns and tweaks were done over the jumps with the flat pedal at the top being covered at warp speed!



I'm looking forward to many months of fun on this little beast!

What I found in Shred Mag...

I was flicking through the latest issue of Shred Magazine and stumbled across this article about the Yeti Tribe Meet of which happened 23-24 June. As you will have seen, we do a fair amount of Yeti bikes so this caught my interest but it wasn't the rather nice retro bike that prompted the blog post.. Seeing the Bullseye cranks on the bike sparked a thought...




We only have a bag full on Bullseye spare parts! (I suspect that its the last new old stock in the country)

We have axles, some hubs (front and rear) and other retro lovely-ness!



If you are trying to repair any old parts or are thinking of sourcing some old bits, give us a call. All of it is for sale and you will need to get in touch to see what we have... we are not putting it on the website any time soon :-) 01926 430211

Custom Yeti ASR 5 build

You may notice that these pictures were taken inside on this occasion... When the bike was built the weather outside was appalling so this time the photos were taken inside. Mixes things up a bit :-p








Tidy build overall.

Custom Yeti 575 Anniversary. Yummy!

Its a Marmite bike I think but I can safely say I think it looks great!

This is a modern bike with a retro theme and it is very brave to try and get the yellows and the blues to mach from all the different suppliers. Again, I think it looks spot on!







With only 250 of these frames being made you may never see one of these out and about but you will certainly know if you see this one! :-)
