"Story goes that the bb shells were stamped and thrown in a bucket before assembly, so frame numbers mean very little. Old skool yeti story right there." - © Andrew, yetifan.com
I´ld really like to know how he did that, so will/would you/he share his infos? As far as I know you´re only able to put Ultimates in periods they´re built, pending if the headbadge-decal is original.

I heard a somewhat alternate version of that story. Yeti would run out of BB shells (or top tubes for that matter), and to replace they'd just run down the road to Redline and purchase a bunch of tubes and BB shells. Hence some have letters in the serials for no reason at all.

I've seen an invoice for U1419 that was given in trade to finish the drywall at the new Yeti factory in Durango. September 1991.

Heard/read that too, Mike. But that doesn´t affect the fact "that the bb shells were stamped and thrown in a bucket before assembly", like Andrew wrote.
As I´ve never heard or read anything about clearifying Ultimate framenumbers I´ld be really suprised if someone comes up with it out of nowhere.

For reasons I wont discuss on an open forum, I think that story is horseshit.
Something to consider, in 93 (92 actually), Yeti had moved to Tange tubing the welded pinch bolt, which GIS's frame doesn't have.

Okay, so I had some free time yesterday and today and decided to change some things up.
Switched out the Rithcey Brakes and DX shifter/lever combo for some black XT cantis and thumb shifters. I also put on some XT pedals and some NOS Spec extreme skinwall tires.
The fella I bought it from was nice enough to supply me with a new elastomer kit for the fork so that got fixed as well.
Still thinking of a silver ATAC stem if I keep the fork or would black be better?
Also I am going to try and find a XT post.
