Please sir, can we see your Cunningham Witches?

I think you've mistaken me for somebody else.

livin' IVMTB strong!

PS - in all due respect, I've yet to see a cunningham sell for more than this C26. Not saying one couldn't but I'll take my vintage carbon anyday over a aluminum fatigue failure waiting to happen. Charlie and his bikes and his master craftmanship are the bomb, but from a materials perspective carbon is far superior irrespective of the master builder. To be clear I'd include Charlie in the same category as Chris H for MTB innovation legendization (is that a word?!). I just prefer carbon. Different strokes for different folks.

Great site- one I will be delving into in greater detail over my lunch break. No mention of the beautiful Formula 1 carbon monocoque bike though??

The fork he was selling was from another vintage Yeti (but we all knew that anyway I guess) But here is some dialogue he and I had about that frame and the fork I won. He never disclosed his name though. Very interesting stuff:

"I worked at YETI for a number of years, was told Johnny T. rode the bike. There are quite a few websites if you google yeti,c-26. I got the fork,stem and headset from a guy who worked at yeti. it was lying aroung his garage so I bought it. I needed it for my wifes bike with a 1.25 HT, since then I have put on an 1.125 headset on her bike so I decided to sell them."

That is a very iconic frameset, no question. I am intrigued by the fork blades, I thought the c26's used an all steel accutrax style (the one before the Answer version) fork?

There was a proto Accu-trax with carbon legs,it was never released.

If we'd charged a dollar per view we'd be close to affording the damn thing.
