Hi,

I made some small changes to my 1990 FRO, decal and spec-wise. Now I consider this bike *done*. Unless I find a pair of Easton decals for the down tube or a steel FTW stem...

BTW, I think my singlespeed is also a classic now, the frame is already 8 years old and it was the last year for the steel FRO:

just added an On One Midge bar. need to play around a bit with the handlebar setup, think the angle can be a bit more upright. Next ride will tell

Greetings,

Michael

Nice bike (not bikes, I didnt like the red one), I have just begun restauration of my 1991 FRO. New stickers (and paintjob) would be nice...

FWIW,

I like 'em both!

Very nice looking bike!

I am going to chime in for the Red one too. It is a rocking SS. Makes me want to buy another Yeti...

Hi,

Nice! Is the turquoise one a Yeti? Both look good. Ive found those bars are comfy when rotated back a bit from where you have them. Looks like fun.

On the topic of rockin' Yetis, does anyone remember the MBA with an Orange Yeti (FRO?) on the cover? That bike is seared into my brain. Given the company I wouldn't be surprised if someone on this board owned that bike. I remember the orange looking awesome.

That was a pretty one.

I had forgotten that Yeti - the paint job brings back memories. The one I am thinking about was solid dark orange with white decals - I am wishing I hadn't donated my mags to the bike lounge those many years ago...

If and when I ever find a fork for my bike, that paint (yellow and white) is the one I'm going with.

Yeti had some nice paintjobs. The dart paintjob is very nice, I like the double dart also, like the one on that MBA cover.

I think the gray color is the nicest thought, but perhaps someone thinks its a bit dull? Gray with turquoise Dart is the win!

I agree 100%! Here's my '92 Pro FRO

Hi,

special colors by Yeti from the californian years:

Love the Tiger and the Triple Dart. And that orange/ green dart is not too shabby either. Of course, these frames are not mine (unfortunately)

Greetings,

Michael

Fantastic pictures, and great food for thought as I am thinking about refinishing my Yeti! I have been thinking of a shiny purple / yellow dart, all purple, and if I didn't have the purple anodized cable guides, brown and orange dart. Mmmm A&W...

Hi,

Yeti Ultimate Special Colors:

Maybe an inspiration, although these colors are veeerrrrryyyy 80's like

or maybe a bit more standard:

Greetings,

2 words: DAY UM!

Anyone who can look at all those pristine Yetis and not feel at least a little pang of lust for early 90s steel has a cold, dead heart.

 

[richieb]

Anyone who can look at those pristine Gawdy 80's paint jobs and not lust for some neon yellow Oakley Factory Pilots and some JT Racing Bones racing Lycra has a cold dead heart...

oh...Gawdy in a good way, BTW.

Tripple dart paintjob rules! someone email the current yeti guys this thread, they might paint 2007 bikes in that color.

Does no-one like the Turq frame, neon green /yellow accutrax & stem combo? For me that's "classic Yeti"

Personaly I prefer anodizing to neon. But neon fork/stem/handlebar on a Yeti looks really good to.
