Pues ahí la teneis, la bici perteneció a un corredor del equipo yamaha, si aguien entiende inglés, que nos lo descifre un poco más. 15cm atras y casi 13cm delante, frenos de disco, para el año 93 no está nada mal. Legendary early downhill, arguably early freeride, 1993 Foes LTS 18 in Team Yamaha colors. Very original, fully functional condition. Highlights include clean Kooka cranks with fresh looking chainrings, cassette, chain. The old style XT derailleurs also look very good (note: I've had these on my Ibis I rode heavily from 98-2005 and they still work!). The inverted, dual-crown, air-sprung Mr. Dirt forks hold air and work nicely despite a character-building injury on the right side (see photos). The Fox ALPS 4 shock works equally well. This bike is also surprisingly light. I haven't weighed it officially but it feels like 30lbs. This in combination with a working suspension system makes this bike ride incredibly well. I've only wheeled around the neighbourhood but have refrained from the local downhill trails (I've been tempted... ). The brakes are Pro-Stop mechanical discs. The wheels are pretty cool for the time. They are built with mavic rims (great condition) and straight-pull spokes (again, see photos). It has 6" rear travel with 5" front. Sounds about like a modern trail bike and rides similar. In the early nineties, that was extreme, and what's more, it worked (and still does)! Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this bike are the Team Yamaha colors and matched factory fenders. This bike was a pro race bike for Team Yamaha in the salad days (early-mid nineties) of downhill racing. I don't know if you'll ever see another bike like this one but I seriously doubt it. For all I know, this could be the last Team Yamaha Foes LTS 18 in existence. The brake cables and housing are the big fatties that were in style in the 90's. The previous owner 'upgraded' the bar and stem but thankfully kept the originals which I reinstalled. Trouble is, they cut the cables for the new bars and as a result, the rear is a little bit short. (see photos). These could easily be replaced with standard cable/housing but I located some NOS shimano housing, ferrules, and cables (good luck finding any more). It's enough for both front and rear. It's also the beefy kind like the original but in white instead of black. I think it would look cool but am leaving it up to the next owner. In the mid-nineties, I worked in a high end mountain bike shop when full-suspension designs really started taking off. Some designs worked and some were straight up goofy. The good ones won races and eventually evolved. The bad ones fell off into obscurity. The Foes LTS 18 however, is straight up legendary and this particular one with Yamaha colors is for the collector or museum curator.
