awww, do I get one of these or keep saving for a Helius AM?
Does anyone know if the claimed 5.5lbs for the ASR5 alloy is with a shock or not? Probably a medium one as well im thinking?
Spending that much on some bent tubes and compressed air it is comforting to have a local shop to take it back to if said tubes and air malfunction though!
Just got an email back from yeti:
Hi Dave,Those bikes are part of an authorized closeout through Rutland and will be covered under warranty. Keep on riding and enjoying your Yeti’s!

ps. Not to doubt the blokey from rutland cycles, but I doubt CRC would have volunteered that their moody Russian frames were not supported by the manufacturer last time this issue came up. Nice to get it from the horse's mouth.
If anyone wants me to forward them the email, I'm happy to do so. Email in profile.

They're still not what I would call cheap.
+1. A couple of years ago we'd be aghast at folk thinking a 1200-1200 frame is going at a bargain..

I bought a 575 that had been reduced 4 years ago for £700 from Wheelbase
so what's that 70% dearer this time around?
I know but Missy Giove must have made a big impression on me when I was young and impressionable... I wouldn't think of spending so much on another brand of frame, weird hey?
5.5 lbs is with shock
think my large was 5.75lbs when i weighed it on the kitchen scales
Evolution had the 2009 ASR7 for something like 799 for an age, very nearly bought one (completed half the form) until I stumbled across an even better deal on a different frame.
Or buy my complete 2010 ASR C (Large) for £1499 !!!!
Crashtest - I saw that! Then a brand new blur4x came up cheapy on here
WTF 😯
If you are that mad you could have the front triangle sprayed up professionally and restickered. Who thought a different paint job was worth 2.8k?
When does it arrive then Laser? (chojin)
ah good; white medium is out of stock now - temptation over 🙂
Dan! (Zoolander) next week hopefully - do you think i'll need extra long cabling for a large frame? I was thinking of getting the Gore Ride On kit..
Definitely stretching the definition of "cheap" there.
Ok then, "discounted" :]
Cool. Depends on what the cable routing is like on them. If there's the usual long exposed cable runs then the standard should be fine. Funny though I measured mine out for gore cables only this morning 🙂
bah!
you could've said! i've gone for those flying snake thingies off CRC now 😛
are they any good?
Yeh I've had no problems with them at all. Need some decent cutters though as they're tough little fkrs
can anyone tell me what headset parts i'm going to need to install forks with a standard 1 1/8th steerer to one of these frames ?
I'm going to go the hope pick and mix route but on the CRC site they list a 'Hope Tapered 1.5" Reducer Crown' . will i need one of these as well as the cups ??
This surely means Yeti's are even more common that usual now.
A Bit large the Clarkson BMW/Mondeo ST muse, it might be better to buy a Trek EX8 to have a more exlusive bike 😉

If you're going with the Hope Pick N Mix (...and frankly there aren't too many other options particularly cheaper) you need top 2, bottom E and a HS136 reducer if running non-tapered 1 1/8th steerer forks
thanks nuke

Or D if you prefer. More than one way to defur a feline.
it turned out to be top cup 1 and bottom cup D for anyone who wants to know
