YETI curly DH Lawwill

Personally I think there are very few true 'museum bikes' out there, loads of wall-hangers and garage queens with a cliche history, but very few truly historical museum bikes.........

Give me Boardmans Lotus, Simpsons last bike, any of Coppi's or Merckx's or at a push Tomac's drop bar C26 - now they're historical.

I don't think you'd get any of those nowadays for £4k. Although if somebody offers me Tomacs C-26 I'll phone the bank.

Have to agree that this isn't a museum piece. It's just something a Yeti enthusiast may like to own. It was a promotional tool and was not ridden by anyone of significance in the MTB world.

I don't even think it would achieve £1.5k in an open auction... my valuation is nearer half of that :shock:

juli furtados 1990 worlds winning C26 bike made $7800 a few yrs back on ebay. theres been some C26 framesets sell for considerably less than that.. kinda before most retro forums existed & the whole VRC price explosion tho

cycleshark petes tomac above shouldnt be underestimated either, thats another from the Parker yard

Indeed MCK. I'm struggling to see Yeti collectors and museums tripping over each other to get to this one, but perhaps once you've informed them a stampede with ensue

Yep, the C-26 is a different kettle of fish.
