1988 Yeti FRO

Mr. Spwal mentioned this thread and asked me to make some remarks.

Having been the guy that welded these bikes together, I can assure you that we made frames in different configurations as required.

It could certainly be a repair or something made out of spare parts at any point in time. We did change several set of drops on frames but rarely replaced the whole back of a used frame. We also made bikes out of spares as needed for racers or VIP's.

Only the people who have owned it before know it's history and that has likely been forgotten.

Why a stem with a roller cable hanger for a bike with a front suspension ?

Pierre I'm not finished yet with Merlin

Two parts have arrived from Richmond and Thetford (thank you guys )

What should I do? just leave it in silver or yellow coat? :?

 

[spwal]

Very nice as is!

beautiful frame set...
I also agree, the stem looks great in silver

Thanks ...but I can't leave it in silver because I will have no further part in silver on this bike

The Real Deal

yes this is a Nitto stem (I got also one)

For being more precise, it's a nitto made stem called Cannondale 285 stem. It's quite the same as a ritchey force quill stem, but it was made for Cannondale for the SM omega or the SM2000.
An ATAC stem fits better on a Yeti. I agree. So, you should sale me your Nitto

Edit...

And here some more Nitto-love

@Gil thanks a lot

That looks great Nader! The cable housing will be a nice touch. M900?
