 ===== Yeti Cycles =====
-John Parker started Yeti Cycles in 1985 in North Hollywood, CA, purchasing [[sweetheart:start|Sweetheart Cycles]] in 1984 from "Bicycle Bob Wilson" using the proceeds of selling his personal 1928 Indian motorcycle.  Prior to Yeti, JP worked as a welder for both Hollywood movies, Lindwall Tool & Die and Sweetheart Cycles - and also making sleeping bags for a company called Yeti.  JP acquired the Yeti name for a promise of a future t-shirt, changing the Sweetheart Cycles name to Yeti mostly to escape from Sweetheart's debts.  Officially, Yeti's first bikes arrived in 1985, but JP made a few in 1984 which he painted in Yeti colors.

 ===== 1984 Yeti  =====
-Early prototype based upon a [[sweetheart:start|Motocruiser]] frame, now with decent cable routing, including their signature font derailleur routing....  JP welded this himself, and later relied upon Frank Wadelton to weld all further Yetis.  JP's personal bike.  Upgraded, non-original components.
