Cool! I think that's Elke Brutsaerts bike. She was a Yeti racer and then Schwinn. That is the Lawwill design that made it into the 1996 Yeti catalog but was never a production bike.
Need some info about bastard Yeti arc as lt (Schwinn)

Quite a unique bike! I personally like Schwinn bikes and also Yeti, seems like you have the best of both worlds! More pics if you are gonna build it!

Seems like it's quite unique, yes. I'll keep you guys updated with whatever happens. I'll guess it will get some period correct Schwinn decals, mid 90's xt and black or silver ringle/control tech parts with a Judy fork. Some hed wheels would also be cool, but i don't know at this point how much money i'll put into it.
Look at this guys: http://ridetothehills.files.wordpress.c ... g_1536.jpg

Re:
Do whatever you want with it. You bought it, you gotta built it, and now you gotta ride it! If you want to make a faux Yeti, then go ahead, but know that it isn't. But I agree with some other posters in saying that you should brand it Schwinn. Those are my 2 cents!

Re:
Glad to see it go to a good home. The guy that brought it to our shop used to work for schwinn / yeti.... but we really don't have much info other than that.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with it... I think a Elke Brutsaert build would be fitting! Make sure to grab a copy of Har-Di-Hood to study up on.

Re: Re:
[/quote]Any chance to get some more information from the guy who brought it? I'll do some research with the Har di hood thing
I'm bidding on a Judy Dh fork that i think will match this build. I'm thinking a retro dh inspired build.[/quote]
Absolutely!
I know our team did some digging prior to posting the frame but I will see if we can go the extra mile and get another round of info.
Be in touch shortly.
