I've wanted a YT Capra for a looong while and last summer I came across this frame a chap in Germany was selling at a price I couldn't really say no to.
The frame is going to be stripped and powder coated in RAL 1013 and I've ordered a new set of bearings from YT so all bearings will be replaced. I'm tempted to get the spec sheet and order a full set of spurious titanium linkage bolts too, it should work out cheaper than a set of new alloy ones from YT and they'll last.
My graphic designer pal is going to sort out some decals for this for me and I've decided to go with a design that's influenced by Brandon Semenuk's current Trek Session, a Land Rover Defender build by a Portuguese company called Cool&Vintage and the Patagonia logo...
