YETI F.R.O Pro build thread

[racecarjohnny]

Picked up a nice low mile early 90's Yeti F.R.O. Pro. Sat in a storage locker for many years so there was some melting issues but nothing major. Going to tear it down, replace the decals, drive train, seat, pedals etc. First YETI so I am pretty excited. Can anyone tell me where the serial numbers are on these bikes? Here are a few pics in its original state.

Took off the rough decals, melted grip shifts, Front/Rear m737s and avid cantis.

Those Manitou’s look really good on the PRO FRO. Nice Project… enjoy the build

I agree. Something about the blue and black fits perfectly.

Someone local has a rat build later Yeti, and you know what?

I really like it.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours.

The gang in Durango was ahead of their time. Frame design, fit & finish is off the charts.

Nice score !
Serial no should be on the nds dropout, but can be difficult to read due to the think coat.
Looking forward to seeing this progress!

Raced mine with M3's once in a retro ride:

I saw a modern Yeti yesterday. Doesn't come close this. That shouldn't have the name on it. Love early Yetis

That view, plus the cable routing, is why I want one.

One day.
