More please!

That’s breaking the rules here as I am posting yesterday’s ride today! On the way back home from work took a small detour in the forest. Overall 25 kms one way only.

Welcome @Freeman ! Looks ridden to the core this one and so it must be well blended with you. No bike can trully replace the first one...Hopefully, I will be able to ride in such an aggressive position once I get to my 60s too! :)

I guess you have to roll the dice with early Yos when it comes to their seatube / BB issues but as you said not at this price. I was lucky with mine and still had to do some cleaning to find out the state it was. You can ask for a picture from the seller from that area. You get a pretty good...

Just the regular Sunday evening ride…

Decals don’t look to be in place either

The owner updated the description to add that’s most likely repainted

I went for my standard late afternoon ride the but ended up getting a flat. Pump I had was not working but a nice gentleman ended up helping by lending me his.

Here there is more info on M2s: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1996-stumpy-m2-challenging-my-own-prejudices.473588/page-3#post-3515566

Nice find Charlie! I have an M2 waiting to be built too. I think the technology that went into them to bring these frames into production was pretty amazing at the time…

With seat collar and anti chain suck mechanism comes to 1,768 kg. It’s pretty impressive to say the least.

If you have the chance to weight the frame only do let us know of the results. I have heard that are among the lightest steel frames!

Very nice interview! Thanks for uploading. Hope new frame builders will follow his work ethic and approach to design.

Synching on for the updates too... It seems to be very lightly ridden so a very nice find. Also, it's cool to start with a bike and let it somehow take its own direction from the parts you have available and ideas you have seen on line or around.

It's a FAT TUBE seat post and the one that came with the bike when it was sold in 1991. In fact, it's a very interesting seat post in that its interior is not hollow but has a cross that goes throughout its length to reinforce it. I am not describing it too well. Will take a picture and you will...
