1991 Yeti Ultimate

Posted this on VRC and thought I should post it here as well.

Picked this up in Oregon on Monday.
Never had a Yeti that fit properly and when this came up I had to grab it.
I was saving for a new road/gravel bike but oh well.
The fella had a ton of photos in his CL ad and it looked great but after seeing it in person I have to say that it is better then I had hoped.
Looks barely ridden.
XT Hubs, Cranks and derailliers.
DX Shifter combo
Ritchey Logic Canti's
Control Tech Stem and Seatpost
Taperlite bar
I added the Turbo and will be adding Black XT Canti's and XT thumb shifters.
I have a line on a black Accutrax Fork and Black ATAC stem so………
I will also replace the headset with a black XT and hopefully get a XT seat post as well.
The fella also had the 93 catalog and the Ultimate cable routing poster.
I will update as soon as I have collected the additional parts.

Wow! That does look to be in excellent condition

that's cool. might we see this in vancouver next month?
never seen one in the flesh before. would be a treat.
might be the only e-saty in attendance i believe.
since i won't be bringing any.
unless of course, chillibiker brings his shiney new RM cirrus.

good score. looks brilliant

How come my Photos dont show up?
I will try again.

Your links are all wonky

Looking forward to see some more pic´s when you´re done.
Friendly greetings

Okay, had to use my sons magnifying glass to see it.DOH!
Anyways, the serial number is U1339.
Can anyone define this?
Thanks

"Ultimately" want to own one, one day.

Very cool and desirable ride.

Control Tech stem and seat post are nice, though I was never fond of the post. The I-beam structure didn't provide much fore and aft flex=super stiff.

Accutrax would be nice but 1st production Manitou's can be just as nice. Looking at the pics your elastomers might be shot which is a common problem with a easy solution, replacement bumpers are readily available.

Awesome bike. Keep us updated!
