What year is this Yeti F.R.O and what is a fair price ??

[The_Sellution]

Does anyone know what year this Yeti frame is? I'm guessing a '90 or '91, but I'm not certain. Overall it's in good shape, but the seat tube screw has been stripped and will probably need to be extracted by someone more qualified than myself :roll: Also, what would be a fair selling price??

Any input is appreciated.

That's an early '88 or older with a 1" headtube that's been sent back to Yeti at some point for all the fixes like the seat collar and the chainstay gusset.

How could you tell from the pics?

FB is right on all accounts. The dropouts tell the story, and yes it looks like a 1" headtube. Also, is has the chainstay cable moor

-Chainstay gusset added
-Seat collar "fix" added
-Seatstay roller added

For sure a repaint or repaired pre-88 Yeti

In future please use the 'how much' thread for valuations...

Thanks for the input. Yes, it does have a 1" headtube. And I think you're right about the repaint, in my online search I could not find any in that color blue. Also, the Yetiman logo is the '91+ version.

I plan on listing it on eBay...I think I'll just throw it up for $1 with no reserve and see what happens.

thanks again

sorry about that....didn't even know that section existed - I'm still new here :roll:

I should add (before Yetified scorns me), it could also be an early 89. They switched to 1 1/4 headtubes late summer that year.
