I found this bike on my local craigslist. The previous owner got it from a friend of his who had a friend who supposedly raced DH for Yamaha. I had no idea Yamaha had a bicycle racing program but in the early days of DH, I don't doubt it.

I guess I'm really mostly interested in the Yamaha racing program and it's relationship with Foes. Even more interesting would be to see how the team placed during it's existence so that I can have a better idea of this particular bike's history. Who knows, maybe it made some history?
