Been chasing one of these for nearly two years—and finally scored a 52cm Y-Foil 66 in beautiful condition. I usually ride a 54, but I wasn't about to pass this one up, especially with how rare these have gotten (and how prices have been climbing lately!).
It came stock with the original Ultegra groupset, but I went all in and rebuilt it with a full Dura-Ace 7700 setup, including the hubs. Rims are Mavic Open Pros, and they pair perfectly with the frame to make this ride feel incredibly smooth and responsive.
The frame itself was in great shape, so I stripped it down, wet-sanded, and polished it to bring out that iconic look. Cockpit is all 3ttt—seatpost, stem, and bars—with a Selle Italia saddle on top.
I know the Y-Foil isn't everyone’s holy grail, but I’ve always loved the design and history behind it. They’re not exactly common anymore, so I’m pretty stoked to finally have one built the way I wanted.
Cheers!

I really like those older frames, like the softride. I’m not aware of the y-foils story, I’ll look it up later. Cheers!
Dude there’s an absolute insane thread on completely rebuilding one of these on weight weenies- they custom fabbed a ton of carbon par parts for it. Love the y- foils.
