1987 Yeti FRO

This was a special bike that was brought to me by one of the employees of Durango Cyclery. This had turned up locally and was severely neglected.

Its owner said it was the former bike of [Yeti founder] John Parker's wife Linda. This seams to be supported only by the Team Shrew decal on the top tube. The only other place I've seen it is on Yeti #1 sold by Parker himself:

However, Linda is a small lady and this is a 19" frame. Unlikely that it belonged to her, but its an important round top-tube Yeti regardless. All period-parts and cleaned up:
