1989 YETI F.R.O. For Racing Only SOLD

Yes, she's lovely. it is currently like this.

Beautiful the white is a lovely break from all the yellow and cyan

But $6500 wow, that’s a whopper of a price.

You could buy practically any titanium frame and build it up with the nicest of parts and have money left over for a nice holiday

Is it just me or has the bottom bracket serial numbers seemingly been filed and filled and the bike resprayed and not to what I'd call a professional quality?

I know nothing on early Yeti's but the whole thing rubs me the wrong way tbh.

Far from an expert but the whole thing looks off to me. The colour looks off, the terrible repro decals on the stem, etc

 

[Mod-Master]

it is alot of money, and for 6500 you'd want a better condition turbo saddle

These used Dillsberg Aircraft certified tubing for the rear triangle like Team Comps but plain gauge custom shaped afaik for the main tubes, so they must be on the heavy side and feel on the dead side to ride. I get the race history etc but thats a lot of money for nostalgia.

doesn't even have full xt, pedals are Suntour

In fairness they're far better and worth far more than XT

well, still, would be nice to have full, even if they're better and rarer

 

[Mod-Master]

mostly because i'm a bike tart

Silly price, p*ss take postage imo. Don't engage, laugh, walk away. Edit cos English is hard

That said, whilst postage might ordinarily be c.£35 I'd have thought postage with the proper level of insurance to cover a £3k(+) item would likely be more, wouldn't it?
