Soo ugly aesthetically but such an iconic piece of history in mountainbiking!! As i'm a long time mountainbiker myself but i still can't believe John did some "hands down in in the dropbar" downhill on this bike!

Well then you are ignorant history wice. JT used the drop bars down hill, just it look up at youtube - he was hammering!

Nicest bike ever.

Thanks for the support Kleinrenzo, another case of "blondes and brunettes". I'd rather ride a Klein :smile:

JT wasn't the only Yeti-man throwing air in the drops...

IIRC he chose to ride drops because he was doing a lot of road cycling at the time and wanted to keep the position the same on the MTB as well.

Great pics, I can't believe he was that quick as well, those forks must have had all of about 1.5/2 inches of travel too!

Great pictures guys.

Those forks have about 1" of travel :smile:
