Video: Neko Mulally on Cracking Frames & Racing in North American in Episode 9 of 'Frameworks'
Frank does custom frames. The last time I enquired it wasn't that much more than a Big Brand plastic frame. That was 3-4 years back I would guess.

Yeti Celebrates 35th Anniversary by Releasing $9,900 Limited Edition ARC Hardtail
Couldn't even get Frank The Welder to do up some real Yeti's out of Metal? Instead, you have someone who may or may not be of age wrapping tape with toxic chemicals to make it plastic way to go aside from the colours there is not much it shares in similarities between the original.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 14 - What Bikes Would Pinkbike Editors Buy?
@Matt115lamb: I would maybe suggest getting the first year a FOX 40 came out for 29" if that's your wheel size and reducing the travel. That way you have an actual stiff fork and aren't stressing the steer tube with enough force to lift a 72 Cadillac with.
"Travel on the 40 can be changed from 8” to 6” in 1/2” increments by rearranging the four internal travel spacers inside the left leg of the fork. With the proper tools and oil, changing travel can be done in about 15 minutes. 1 qt. bottle of Fox Suspension Fluid (7 wt.)"
