Anyone able to identify this yeti?

[richardstyler]

Hi, I just purchased my first Yeti. "at least I was told that is what it is" I cannot identify the model, any help would be really appreciatewd. * It say's Colorado so it would have been made while Yeti was there" I uploaded 4 photos, not sure if they will be here or in member area. Thank you in advance for your help.

Unifued rear triangle on a Yeti? Where's the headbadge. I do not think this is a Yeti, but a bike with Yeti stickers

It is not a Yeti. It is a 2001-2002 Rocky Mountain Pipeline.

This is correct.

Yup, that's definitely a Pipeline.

why is there a QR skewer on the shock.... on the fly travel adjustment...

i dunno about that one.

Hi again, Wow, you guys are good, Thank you. I had already began thinking I was duped and it wasn't a Yeti. Explains why I couldn't find it. Certainly does appear to be the pipeline. I think a 1999 though since that is the year they offered it in "Violent Violet" 01 was Grey and black, 02 was Red Anyway, Thank you again, I really appreciate your help.

It's a nice frame still but hope you didn't pay too much for it, much of the bike needs to be worked upon and it's very weathered.

I'm still confused about the QR on the shock.

Wow, that video makes me feel like a real *****. I wouldn't do half that on my considerably more modern bike.
I know a lot of people talk about 'mindless hucking' (maybe more over at Pinkbike than here), but Simmons shows a huge amount of skill there. The way he absorbs drops reminds me of trials riders.

That looks like a fun project bike! Imagine that frameset with a up to date fork and shock like a Rev or Kashima 32 Float and RP23 with a full XT drive and brakes!
