Looking for pics of Yeti 1980s team van

[Deveron53]

As per title...
I know there are some pics out there, I found them previously. But the internet moves on. I think a Yeti catalogue around 2007 had some retro images.
I've got a special project I want to do. I need to know the make and model year of the van and get a good shot of the side graphics.
Thanks in advance.

So the era you're seeking is limited from 85 to 89 and with that, I only have a few pics from those years. The 85-86 ish team consisted of Russell Worley, Greg Dres, Rob Nilsen, Johnny O’Mara, Sue Fish, Mark Langton and Paul Thorsen to name a few. This is the first Team van I recall ever seeing.

This is after they moved to Durango so 91 or later but not much.

I'm happy to ask Parker if he has any old pics from that era if you'd like. When Yeti started dominating the circuit or at least having a shit ton of success from 89-95, their equipment got pretty crazy as did their support teams. Lots of pics around of that era.

Cheers,
Jason

Hahaha. Thanks Reg. Hope the foot is on the mend. A few others from the archives.

And one last, but timely pic for you and I, appropriately titled "Unglued". :facepalm:

Re:

Very, very cool.

Would love to see some more photos.

I'll pull some out that need to be scanned in. I've been meaning to do that anyway when time permits.

Great pics

The Indian motorcycle is the one they sold to fund the company at the start

Here are a couple of some of the vans, not great sorry.

Love this on of Juli. Interestingly this photo is from the Saturday practice, pre-race on Sunday (at 1990 Worlds in Durango, where Juli won and gained her raindow stripes. If you look closely, she's still using Campagnolo and there's a Campy sticker on the top tube. These were stripped lster that day/night, and replaced with Shimano, after a row between JP and Capag.

Legendary!

Yea man. That Campy stuff was dog poo. Swapped out immediately and the 90 Worlds were won.
