Purchased red frame #406 directly from the Yeti fellows in 1987-8 for $600 ($800 retail) for the purpose of riding/carrying! it west-east trans-Sierra...the first and only trek ever done. Still have the original correspondence, sales slips, brochures in the stacks here, even an extra decal or two. Seems like I spoke w/John's wife at time of order.
After the 5-day trans-Sierra trip in '89 the bike has been hanging ever since, still all original and in terrific shape. (Will send pictures later.) Keep it tuned up from time to time...even a brief ride here in the hills.
Have been reluctant to share much about it, since the trip was rather illegal at the time. Perhaps the "statutes" have run out by now!
