The fork is a Mag 21, not RS1. Lovely bike! :)

Now that's a lovely one. I fancy the '93 paintjob much more to my own '92 grey n' black.

The seller is a long-time vintage bike collector and a very trustworthy dude so happy bidding ;) That bike/frame is my ultimate grail (besides my Storm Adroit) but cannot justify investing ridiculous amounts into this kind of a project.

Whilst at it, maybe drill some more, for example those heavy XTR crank arms could do some trimming ;)

"The best there by a huge margin!" Thanks but there were really nice other bikes as well. Especially the Xizang was sublime and the Salsa full susser being super rare (less than 100 ever made) and a no-Shimano bike was super cool too.

Yes, they're Vesa's Cannondale's. He's the Cannondale Expert of the group (even though I like to think of myself one too, having sold quite a bunch of them in the early 90s while working at a LBS).

So there was a vintage bike exhibition at Fiskars Bike Expo yesterday and my Yeti was one of the 13 bikes there. The bikes on show were: - 1991 Scott Pro Evolution - 1992 GT Xizang LE - 1992 Marin Team Marin - 1992 Wheeler 6600 - 1993 Kona Explosif - 1994 Cannondale Killer V - 1996 Yeti A.R.C...

Very nice end result! :) Although a colour-matched Judy is lovely, I think the bike would look great with a Manitou 2 as well.

Congrats for a lovely build! Makes me miss my long-gone Merlins...

I'm about to take my Yeti to a bike expo here in Finland on Saturday. In addition to new bikes & gear, there is an exhibition of retro bikes from the members of a Finnish vintage bike group on Facebook. I noticed that I haven't updated this thread for a looooong time and there have been a few...

Amazing frame you've got there! :) For the shipping, I'd use a courier like DHL/UPS/FedEx. With them, there are no issues with rear shocks etc. The "normal" posts don't allow for example batteries to be shipped but I used UPS to ship a bike with Shimano Di2 drivetrain incl. battery.

Very cool collection you have there! I especially like the Jade Green color of the '91 SM800. It's refreshing as they're almost always black / orange chameleon. If my memory serves me right, it sparkles rather nicely in direct sunlight. Now get those '91 Omegas built with proper components! :D

Actually the first Pepperonis from 1990 & 1991 were with 1" steel steerer. It was changed to 1 1/4" aluminum steerers from 1992 to 1994 and then changed to 1 1/8" for 1995 before moving to P-Bone forks in 1996. That fork is from 1991 SE2000.

Who? Me? Mate, that was somebody’s eBay auction…not mine.
