Met a guy from the early 90s
Or at least I think so. I passed him as he was heading into our local
mall---and I noticed that his bike was a Yeti. It's pretty rare to see anyone here on anything other than 'mart MTBs, so I struck up a conversation while he was locking up. It was a NICE BIKE. XTR derailleurs, Kooka crank, very nice. The guy was wearing day glo green Pearl Izumi gloves and a Bell V-1 Pro helmet. I complimented him on the bike and he said he paid 5 grand for it new. I don't think I'd be parking my Yeti in front of the mall---but I don't think many people here in the sticks realize how nice it was. |

So you think he got caught in a time vortex or did you wonder off into the twlight zone? |

Yeah thats one thing about non-bike people, they don't know how much real bikes are worth. |

Looks like a small version of the huge frames from back then. |
