I really fancy one of these as a change to an XC orientated 29er. Does anyone have experience of one or know where to source a frame?

Yes I can use the search function but my only known source is to import the frame directly.

Anyone have experience of a YS?

All out of Canfield stock, though I think Canfield have just had a small delivery of Yelli and N9 frames. If anyone fancies one just let me know as I will only be buying to order.

Don't get your knickers in a twist! Your thread was at the top of the new posts and that one was right below it with a few replies answering part of your question which was spooky as it's not exactly a common frame to ask about. If I was telling you to search I would have said 'search'. I was merely pointing out the coincidence and giving you the link 🙄

Yes, I have one and love it. I bought mine from Canfield Europe, not the cheapest way to buy it but at the time it was the quickest And Si had said he wasn't getting any.

The new colours look even better than the old ones

Ugly as sin but the ride more than makes up for it.

I'm 6' with a 32 inside leg on a medium.

Seems si was talking pants when he told me they weren't making any more yelli's then. 😕

Got my order in, can't wait!

Been looking at getting some tapered 120mm forks and see on one are doing a deal on Rebas. Anything else out there I've missed? (£600+ forks not an option..)

What travel forks are they stu? And do you find the slack angles work well on it I'm seriously interested in a strong long travel 29er

That looks suspiciously like a derailleur on the back, singlespeedstu - IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME

Ringo.

It's a 120 fork. Though i do plan on putting a 140 on it in the future.
You're more than welcome to take it out for a ride.

I can't be awsome all the time. I do need the odd day off. 😉

that was what i was told, but it seems the yelli was popular over in the US.

I only sold a couple of Yelli frames, and no N9 to date, so no chance of any UK feedback on the N9 i'm afraid 🙁

Thanks to those who have ordered, frames should be here in around 10 days.

Last chance today if anyone else fancies a N9 or Yelli?

I've been toying with the idea of a Yelli or Banshee Paradox for a while as I don't want a straight out race / marathon 29er HT.
My local trails are tight and twisty with some slow technical DHs with very tight corners. Although the short chainstays sound like just the ticket my concern is the slack head angles will make it less agile.
Any feedback on how a Yelli (or Paradox) performs in tight twisty trails?

The reviews over on MTBR seem to say the Yelli is very nimble for a 29er, more so than any other 29er frame due to the short stays.

You just need to saw the unused arm off the front mech to get it to clear.

Si has stopped dealing with Canfield and cancelled existing orders so you will need to deal direct Rorschach.

Not really much option unless you are willing to go and get one for me for less. 😉
