Freeway Yeti Still Alive!!

[99debris99]

Hi everyone. I have a 30+ year old Freeway Yeti that hasn’t fallen apart!! lol …… I had to replace the original red tyres as they had perished over time but otherwise it’s in not bad condition! I am using it to ride up the road to the horse every morning.
It has drum brakes.
Is it worth anything?

Wow what a find! Not seen one of these for a long time.

Certainly an interesting early UK MTB, probably 81/82? Any date codes on it?

Definately worth "something" but you aren't going to retire on it

Hey! Firstly welcome to the forum! I'm sure there are plenty of users who would gladly help with valuing your Mountain Bike.

Might be worth posting over here in the valuations thread

If it is pre-1984, I would say at least 2K.

Amazing bike, I agree with Doc, you can value it in thousands rather than hundreds, a very rare and early example from a highly collectible boutique brand that's in fine condition, if you do it right and allow enough time for word to spread and interest to build who knows what it might fetch.

@Tsundere @99debris99
I'm loving the BMX cruiser inspired fork and drum brakes.
Me thinking this is likely pre-1983. If so, this is a real piece of history!

It is gorgeous, looks like it's a lot of fun to ride.

This is made in the U.K., not Durango in the USA how would they be connected?

Welcome to the site, it is an early bike for sure, made of Hi Ten steel, from a company that continued to make many BSOs over the years. This is perhaps the earliest i have seen from them.

Nothing high end im afraid, with no connection what so ever to the brand YETI that many here are familiar with. I would emulate the post above, it is probably worth more to you as a rider to than the open market.

Well said!
