Intended as a qualifier for the Hour track record, this bike built in the early '80s by Yeti (more commonly known for their mountain bikes) was intended to use all technological advantages. These included the low aerodynamic profile of 24" wheels, and the light weight of the Delrin plastic bushing "headset". Despite these efforts, the bike did not qualify for the Hour, and thus perhaps why we don't see many bikes of this unusual distinction any more. Please note the signature turquoise color Yeti uses to this day on their technologically (yet functionally) advanced full suspension mountain bikes.

What's that headset feel

What's that headset feel like? and are those the clipless pedals you can only unlock by pushing the bottom? bike looks great.

Headset?

Let's just say it corners like a bike begging to go straight on a banked track at all times... Yes, the pedals have to be released from cleats by hand. That's the reason we are missing fingers on the right hand.

I am in love with the bars.
