yeti-man":223nyvdj said:Cool project - like it. The race originals were iconic bikes. I was around one of them at the NORBA race in Atlanta 1990, I took this picture of two Yeti riders
The reason why I took this picture was the FRO - I realized after the film was developed that I have one of the few pictures of Joey Erwin and Joey Erwins C-26 (the first of all factory C-26 bikes)
Enjoy your icon, and I am looking for one my self... if not at least a pseudo one like ameybrooks "C-26"
Great...love old candid MTB race photos

So long as YOU are happy that's what matters eh ?
Like the look of what you have created and appreciate the effort ....but isn it like a plate of delicious cakes in a dolls house ?
If someone wanted to cut up my Rocky to make an un rideable inaccurate replica I would .......well I guess I am a rider rather than a voyeur

I guess so. Some folk are happy with a Hardrock.

Thanks but I dont think so? Its a fully rideable machine that I choose to hang on my study wall.

Not sure what you mean here? Its not unrideable - I choose not to ride it. As for "inaccurate replica" can you elaborate there - maybe you're an unknown authority on vintage Yetis? I'm sure many here would welcome an education.
And I'm a rider too - I just believe that restored vintage bikes are for admiring. I ride a modern Ibis Mojo SL.

Welcome an education Lol
I suggest instead that you don't take another persons opinion as a personal slight and far from educating you in the history of 'Vintage' Yetis I would just point out that as already mentioned the top tube is round instead of oval and that it is not original ,like taking a 3 series Beemer and making it an M3 in all but serial number
Like I said it looks very nice........
I built up a steel Yeti frame in 92 for a customer it was a beaut ! He used to run a Tioga disc real wheel that I had to tune up on a weekly basis :roll:
It made a cool rumbling noise though

Most steel Yeti bikes had oval top tubes, rarer ones had round. All C26 had round toptubes.
I'm pretty thick skinned so not taken as a personal slight, I was genuinely curious as to what you meant.
And yes, the Tioga Disc are high maintainence but it was a price worth paying then and now for both the aesthetics and awesome noise!
