I’ll have to break out my bound editions of Bicycling to get my years correct. The Yosemite and the TwinPeaks were both seevted as “Best Buys” by Bicycling but not in the same year. You pointed out that in 1991 the Twin Peaks was designated a “Best Buy”. Then the Yosemite won that distinction in a prior year. 1990 maybe, the Yosemite was the first Yokota to get the “Best “Buy” designation. I’ll have to look. It’s been a long time and so many other products since then. Thanks for keeping the record straight.
No, I understand your comment about the Mariposa, as I was aware that it was hybrid model, before you posted.

The Twin Peaks tandem was the 1st Yokota model to receive a Best Buy rating from Bicycling. The suspension fork equipped Yosemite Pro rec'd a Best Buy rating the following year, in 1992.
