singlespeedstu has mine now

I thought it was great - confidence inspiring down, much faster turning than I expected (those short stays). If I could afford it I would have another.

Now if the Nimble 9 would work with tapered forks....

Had mine a while now and really like it. Descends really well, great on singletrack, easy to jump. Not much bad to say other than I'd have liked an ISCG

singlespeedstu might be along shortly.

I've seen photos of a black one at Leith Hill owned by wobbem I think.

They're OK i suppose.
I constantly worry about the wheels exploding though. 😐

Rorschach.
What Rev you going for?

OP if your in the west mids you're welcome to have a spin on mine.

So Guys, what you all saying? Worth saving up for and get a test ride or stick with the Scandals?

If you want to go fast then the Scandal is great. If you want to have fun then save your pennies. Of course it is possible that by the time you've saved enough for a Yelli Sam might have Buzzards available and you'll have to reconsider.

I've already got a scandal which will remain my whippety 'race' bike...the Yelli will be my grrr ride.And the first with gears and suspension for 6 years!
Should be getting some RCT3 Revs in the new year.I was just going to get some Fox 34's but £950 😯 (and still bloomin expensive at trade).

High fives yelli and rev bro.

I was told that they're special order only in the UK. With a 7-8 week wait. 🙄
Good job it's easy to get stuff from outside the uk. 🙂

I've got one of the new Scandals with the tapered headtube and better tyre clearance at the back, coupled that with new 120mm Reba forks with 20mm thru-axle and angleset headset, it is so much more fun on the downhills than the old Scandal. Does feel that bit heavier, but worth it.
