headset

Hmm, the headset - it's been so long since I put it in that I can't remember for sure! I know my older Yeti is a 1 incher so I stuck a BMX one in there!

1in FROs I believe were up to 89. 1.25 from 1990.

Good point, I'll get in touch with him

Elev12k - thanks for the tip on Commandant. I haven't seen it in the UK but a classic car enthusiast friend swears by Autoglym so I might give that a try.

YETI difference.

What the difference between a FRO and a Pro FRO ?

I lived in the US for a short time ('92/ '93) and from memory reading an ad for Yeti, the Pro FRO was only meant to be sold to NORBA members. Not to sure how they were to do this - maybe you had to give your licence number when ordering?

yetis were just as popular in germany as there were in the US, do dunno how that worked!

Another pic

Still the same bike, so thought I'd tack this on the end of the thread ...

Found this one in a shoe box of my Yeti with her Smoke and Dart Magics. This reminds me, I MUST put a flat bar back on her!

Are you sure it's a 95 model? It looks older. I would say 91.
Anyway, a nice example of a FRO!

Re:

Different angles and different materials. The Fro had 4130 steel, the Pro had Tange tubing.

This one looks more like an regular FRO. The seat binder is def a FRO style (BMX style). The Pro has just a bolt. Allso the cablestops are welded, the Pro has aluminium stop blocks that are riveted to the frame.

I say its a late FRO .. 89-90 or so.
