I got this email from a friend…
there is a guy out in California that I have bounced some emails with regarding watches, and we got talking mountain bikes. Well after he found out I had a Yeti he tells me yea, his very first mtb was a yeti from when they were originally made in Cali, and that he still has it. He said he picked it up and shortly thereafter hurt his back and stopped biking for like 8 years. When he got back into biking suspension was in full swing so he just picked up a new bike. He dropped me a pic of his Yeti….it is seriously a museum piece.
