It was meant to be!
I would tend to doubt it came with it originally but total guess on my part. They were pretty stingy with the tomatoes except on the last Fastbacks.*shok*
Pretty amazing collection just in that picture. Is that a 17″ black/red dart frame in the back?!
My best source left in ’99 so didn’t have any added info; just that it did seem almost certain to be a Yeti painted like a 2001 Fastback, for whatever reason. Sorry I don’t have anything better for you.
Anything is possible, especially with the way some of the things were going back then. Seems odd that it would have been a 2+ year old frame though. I’ll see if I can get any more info on it.
Like Moby said, awesome info, runzoff. When I didn’t have luck contacting John it was by email only so if anyone has that problem in the future you might try doing it the old-fashioned way.
I’m going to have to sticky this or add the info to the FAQ.
Thanks again for the follow-up, runzoff.I don’t have anything to add but I’m excited that you added the cents symbol. That’s all. :clapping:
Based on top tube cable routing and no rear canti cable stop, it looks like it’s either a ’98 Factory XT or ’99 Factory XT or XTR painted to look like a 2001 Schwinn.
EDIT: also because it’s external headset and the forged dropouts and chainstay yoke are typical of these years.
Go [url=http://bonustomato.com/Homegrown_models]here[/url], and click on Yeti to see them.
Good news is that it’s a Yeti frame. Unfortunate that it was painted though.
Nice. Funny thing is all the interesting search results you get when you Google various Homegrown things…
