Koga Miyata/ YT Industries/ Fort

I'm super excited to try them out! The quality of finish and manufacturing is incredible but due to the paint disasters previously mentioned I haven't gotten to ride them yet!

Little teaser of the YT Capra DIY paint project...

Very much so :)

I'm finished the graphics and just picked up two cans of 2k aerosol lacquer so hopefully get a chance to lay it before I go away for the weekend!

Also picking up my wheels this afternoon!

Interesting thanks :) Can I ask how much it cost?

€100

These are sick.

interesting choice of crank, who made the adapters?

Got them from eBay, a chap in Russia makes them. 7300 would be the period correct groupset for the frame and I didn't want to use the 9700 cranks.

Lacquer has gone down on Capra. Going to withhold pics until I get the bearings pressed in and frame back as one but I'm pleased.

Very tempted to get some of these

That escalated quickly

For when you really, really need to stop.

They were designed for rigid 29ers, right?

This is awesome! Chapeau sir. Does that mean we can start a silly brakes club?

Surely @amey has to be head of the Ministry of Silly Brakes

My lines choices are so bad these days, that there's possibly no such thing as 'too much brake'

Only the outdated & ineffective ones.....

Rep.

Also there really is no such thing as too much braking! I presume you've ordered the 203mm rotors too @BareNecessities?

Ah no, I'm afraid you have me outgunned there :-)

I'm too impatient :)

Some HHSMTB material here

Or potentially, anti-porn ;-)

It's a fine line for sure! I'm hoping it pulls through with the rest of the build parts...

Orange Chromag saddle and gum grips could go either way...

Just go easy on the gold & purple parts :D

It could work out... I've abstained from ano parts completely, all silver and black!
