I wanted this bike too. In 1997 when it came out. Already had a 1996 Y-11. And I still have it. Except now the 1996 Purple Y11 has a Surly Karate Monkey 29" fork and the rear triangle has a disc brake mount adapter. Removed the rear shock and replaced with an aluminum bar. Oh yeah. Since the derailleur ripped out of the triangle it is also now a single speed. Yes. A 1996 Y11 69er rigid single speed. lol

 I wanted this bike 25 years ago.
