Re:

Year, the red spider is something that I have felt great pain about...
I have a standing offer to buy a black/silver/turquoise spider for compact rings but have been only offered std size spiders so far.
I don't have a heart to paint it over or strip it of its anodizing.

I love that little bit of red color. It breaks the blue x yellow pallette right at a pivotal point.

So there was a vintage bike exhibition at Fiskars Bike Expo yesterday and my Yeti was one of the 13 bikes there.
The bikes on show were:
- 1991 Scott Pro Evolution
- 1992 GT Xizang LE
- 1992 Marin Team Marin
- 1992 Wheeler 6600
- 1993 Kona Explosif
- 1994 Cannondale Killer V
- 1996 Yeti A.R.C.
- 1997 GT LTS
- 1997 Salsa El Kaboing
- 1997 Trek Y-Five-0
- 1998 Cannondale F2000
- 1998 Cannondale Super V Raven
- 2001 Klein Adept Pro

Nice collection of machines. Those are @Vesatoro ‘s cannondales I presume?

Yellow flite pulls it all together well.

Yes, they're Vesa's Cannondale's. He's the Cannondale Expert of the group (even though I like to think of myself one too, having sold quite a bunch of them in the early 90s while working at a LBS).

Thanks but there were really nice other bikes as well. Especially the Xizang was sublime and the Salsa full susser being super rare (less than 100 ever made) and a no-Shimano bike was super cool too.
