When I was around 16 one of my riding buddies was at University and came home with an original Yeti ARC. It was tricked to the max. Manitou IIIs, Gravity Research high leverage cantilever brakes, Cook Bros Racing cranks, Ringle Stem and Seatpost and the classic turquoise and yellow paint scheme. It was so light that on one particular ride it actually did get blown away by the wind at the cafe stop!
So after having had the Santa Cruz Chameleon for a couple of years I decided that it was time to swap it out for a new ride. So the big orange lizard was stripped down and most of the parts transferred over to the new frame. Forks had a service at TF Tuned and I imported some swanky decals from VC Graphix in Yeti’s home state of Colorado.
