[Closed] Yeti demo bikes , amongst others

We have an ASR5 on permanent demo. Medium Black Alloy.

In Edinburgh if that helps.

We will also have an HD just as soon as we can keep one in long enough to make into a demo...

cuppatea - better tell him who "we" is?

hi cuppatea, edinburgh bikes? or the actual place? im in Leeds so one of those options is good 🙂

Sorry - cuppatea = Adam here at thebikechain

to clarify:
Druidh/Onion = Colin at TBC
cuppatea = Adam at TBC
thebikechain = Mark at TBC

Purple Mountain had alu ASR5's in small, medium and large, which they swapped between their shops at Dalby and Kielder.

Dalby's not too far if you are based in Leeds

ah, cheers, the real Edinburgh then. who knows i may have to make a bit of a trip good to know you have them.

Dalby though, yep close thanks Dave will look them up.

foureyes - just thought I'd say that I went from an (old-style) 575 to a (new-style) Reign and thought the Giant was a far better bike for pretty much everything.

blimey thebikechain you have some tasty brands in, nice to see some things like ibis lapierre and yeti in one place.

mines a old style Reign and actually, its amazing. just heavy, and baggy, and brown, and not spangly and new

you know how it is

Yeah sorry, I meant to say maybe check out the newer Reign as well.

Cuppatea? I think I've seen more greasy baked goods in tbc than cups of char.

You should consider a Remedy if you find the Fuel to short in travel, it occupies the same ground as a 5. You'll need to find a shop with one or a demo day though as Trek won't send a demo to any dealer.

Remedy, yep its interesting how many bikes are using a tapered 32mm fox fork these days when they had a 36 before and still could.

is the shimano bolt through and a tapered steerer really that good?

the last 120ish travel bike i tried was a long time ago really so maybe it is time to try the new breed

The Shimano QR is the neatest solution to the problem I've seen- it's tidier than a maxle by a fair way. Tapered steerers- well, I'm not so bothered about a stiff front end and don't tend to notice stuff like that.

ygm buddy

cheers ygm back, my email often gets caught in spam filters though

hey up foreyes. Have you thought about crosstrax in leeds. Claim to be uk's largest yeti dealer, though when ive seen them its usually all or nothing in terms of stock. Check website. Also try the biketree in sheff. new shop dealing with yeti but again every time i go in its limited disply ie 1 or 2 yeti items. Though this time of year i expect shops to be waiting for new stuff. I too am interseted in th easr5 so i will be following this post, keep us up to date and good luck

I saw a new 2011 Yeti 575 demo bike at Chase Cycles at Cannock the other day - think they have it off the rep for over Xmas?
