I completed the V1 re-build on the Orange one and you are both right, it is waaaay stiffer than I remember the red/gold one being.
Also the thing that stands out after over over 16 years NOT riding this era bike I was instantly reminded how much you feel like you are riding βONβ the bike VS. the βINβ the bike feel of modern geometry.




Thanks for the help, that fame only in the 98 catalog was throwing me off.
Having never ridden the orange one is there a differenince in your experince with ridde quality/feel?
I’m guessing the Yeti frames are more highly saught after?
Thanks again
This BB fir just fine π
