1990 Yeti FRO

[stoney_god1975]

Just been to collect this very unloved Yeti. Frame number is 996. I wonder if it ever raced.

Now, what to do with it.

Dream bike right there! You say unloved: From the pics this looks barely ridden?

Unloved, as in barely ridden and parked up

No race = no love, got it. I first thought you meant there were horrors lurking under the paint or something.

Personally I think this era Yetis do not need much bling. A colour matched A-Tac and some nicer tires would probably already make a huge difference.

I've got a lovely XT group set on my Roberts I reckon I'll chuck on it.....

Anyone got a nice A-TAC to swap for a Ringle..

Nice pick. I'd give up a few bikes for that. Bring it back to it's glory...

The strip down has begun....

So I´m no Yeti expert, but I just noticed this has a round top tube. When was the time they switched to the squished/oval TT? I suppose this was then after ´90?

Ice cool. Go on, we won't tell, how much would something like that cost?! Where did you find it?

Looks ovalized in the photos to me?

Lovely score this regardless.

I've got a noodleless A-TAC in black in 1 1/8, I'd swap for something.

Just not a Ringle!
