Check this baby out,
Complete bike, completely custom and trick in every way.
The Bike used to belong to Professional Downhill Skier Caroline 'Curly' Curl and John Parker of Yeti Cycles
Back in the day, (around 1995/96) Yeti struggled for finances to pay world class riders so needed to grab the headlines in a different way.
Owner and founder of Yeti Cycles (John Parker) employed the services of the legend that was 'Curly' to ride this one off custom downhill bike down a snow covered mountain in Les Alps as fast as she damn well could to capture the landspeed record on a mountainbike.
I am not certain of the exact time, something like 121Kph I think, it may of been more, I'm sure I read in MBUK that it was 200 kph or something but don't want to lie.....whatever, anyway a few days / weeks later the record was broken by another chancer on a Peugeot with faring and better weather....
I bought the bike from John Parker back in 2001 (I think) and it has graced my lounge wall ever since. I have not ridden it, modified it or changed anything in any way other than adding around 2mm of dust to it (which will be gone by the time it sells, if it sells)
The bike is unique, it is a one off, you will never see another the same.....
The bike is signed by John Parker, ex owner and founder of Yeti Cycles.
The bike comes with the helmet that was custom painted by Troy Lee of Troy Lee Designs fame, further pictures available on request.
