Mitch Yeates signature Simple frame spy shots…

Mitch Yeates arrived in Estonia this morning after a coupe of 5am pints of Stella and a full English..

Here are some photos of Mitch Yeates signature Simple frame, dubbed the 'Weaver'. It's very light at 4.4lbs and you can see where the weight has come off... The headtube is shorter, exposing more of the internal headset, the bottom bracket tube is a smaller diameter and bulges out to accommodate a mid BB. The seat stay brace is the signature Simple cross and the chain stays have a thin narrow tube joining them. The top and down tubes are both narrow at 32.5mm with only a downtube gusset meeting the headtube. The dropouts at the back are the smallest I've ever seen and you woud struggle to get a peg on there, although this is a signature bike and Mitch doesn't ride pegs...

This bike is a prototype so the colours and graphics are not confirmed but it will be going into production this summer...
