1990 Yeti Cycles FRO| Agoura Hills, California USA

This is Juli Furtado's 1990 Yeti FRO race bike. Given to her midseason of her "rookie" year, and raced until days before the World Championships when she was given her C-26 that took her to her first worlds title.This was found as a frame only with many issues, namely a massive seatpost crack. Luckily I have the local resources to help me bring these old race bikes back to life. Handbuilt by Chris Herting, unlike most Yetis, this features custom sizing and geometry, along with many personal details such as hand-machined dropouts and sculpted seat collar. Each Campy part was confirmed and sourced piece by piece - a painful and expensive undertaking. I'm proud of this one. Such a cool piece of race history.

Enjoy

Looks perfect in that size! I really like the race look it's got.

I have to agree, the proportions frame/fork/rims really comes together,
where as the beast that Nick at the Pro's Closet has (ex Chris Hertings old rig) looks a little awkward

Nice work there Mike (as always)
 
Re:

:cool: Looks just right. Campy sure looks the part. Did those brake levers come all the way from the UK ;)
