“Vintage bike are similar to vintage sports cars in that they create lots of attention, while performing or parked by the side of the road! “
Yeti Helped Launch Mountain Biking
Yeti started as a labor of love in 1985, when Legendary founder John
Parker
, a welder who built movie sets in Hollywood, bought some jigs and fixtures from a defunct bicycle factory, and applied his craft to making mountain bike frames. As a car and motorcycle racer, Parker knew the only way to legitimize and test new products was to go racing. So he loaded up his frames in the first ever mountain bike team box van and went off to the races.
The frames immediately found a cult following among the racers, who found the Yeti steel frames solid, neutral handling and fast as heck. In the summer of 1991 Yeti moved from Agoura Hills, California to Durango, Colorado. Not only was Yeti the preeminent brand among racers, but it was now located in the epicenter of the mountain bike world.
Yeti Innovation
Powered to victory by exceptional talent and innovative race machines, Team Yeti became the dominant off-road squad in the late 80's and early 90's. Parker's ability to find and groom the best racing talent in the country made Yeti the talent factory for the industry. These race teams are now legendary. Names like John Tomac, Myles Rockwell, Jimmy Deaton, Missy “the Missel” Giove, and Juli Furtado found their way into the Yeti pit and into the record books.
Yeti's commitment to giving their racers the best equipment on the circuit has led to many innovations, too. Yeti was one of the first two companies to work with Easton on developing taperwall tubes for bicycles. Yeti also pioneered the use of full suspension in downhill racing, worked with innovative materials like carbon and thermoplastics, and tinkered with everything from shocks to disc brakes to help racers go faster and win.
The FRO was etched into the imaginations of early mountain bikers by its curvaceous,
"one-piece" seat and chainstay design
and its
ovalized top tube
.
The icing on the FRO's cake was the parallel top tube cable routing that gave the chassis a race-car edge and kept the rest of the bike looking clean and uncluttered
. Yeti's were some of the best handling/race bikes then and today.
This
is your chance to acquire a part of mountain bike history, that you can proudly Ride.
a work of art Yeti bikes are truly “Rolling Sculptor” A thing of beauty to behold, and too ride.
This epic example has been barely ridden and stored in a cool, dry indoors for 26 years. Minimal marks on main tube (see pictures) due to decal removal, can be easily touched up with proper white paint match
