 Looks beautiful, I especially like the one piece seat and chainstays in true Yeti fashion. Only thing letting it down is that horrible saddle! Would be a shame to get it dirty!
|
|
 Must resist!

 I've never had a go a cyclocross, is it fun? I may try it this winter (which would mean another new bike ) Also do Cyclo cross bikes make good tourers?
|
|
I've been giving some serious consideration to Wiliers offering, depending on where i end up working, but this has got me thinking again.

 Facts: Yeti as a brand is about bike racing. They have been making small numbers of custom 'cross bikes for a few years including for Brady Kappius from Colorado who has been on the US World CX champs team: http://www.curveinc.com/CurveLounge/gallerypicpages/BradyKappius.htm So this bike is the product of years of development and world class level CX racing. Yeti had the Road Project up until 2002/2003.

 That is absolutely beautiful. If I was in the market for (another) cross bike, I'd be there like a shot!

 've never had a go a cyclocross, is it fun? You'll be amazed at how much techy stuff you can roll over on a cross bike. Plus you can really scare yourself sh^^%less on the descents!
|
|
 riding on the drops on a cross bike on a mtb descent is NUTS!

tomac pic above is a yeti fro mountain bike & not a CX bike... cool pic tho 
|

 Hmmm, I think that's loverly, well tempted I must admit. Although it's a fair chunk heavier than the SC one, it's got bottle bosses, so it's far more practical!

|
 That really is gorgeous. So, what exactly is cyclocross?
|
|
It's a winter based sport which involves riding a road bike with knobblies around a muddy field for an hour or so, combined with obstacles like stairs, sand traps, or hurdles causing riders to run as well. Good for spectating.

PMSLMAO!!!
I am deffo getting a CX bike now!! LOL at the last guy in the clip....
|
|
Wildly different levels of bike handling skills there.
|
|
WOW, it's just like you said! Hilarious clip that, especially the last guy
|
|
 CX is a great way to keep in shape for proper riding! 
|
|
It's all about the guy who flies over the barriers, then casually strolls back to get his bike, good effort!
The guy before him in the black/red who nails the barriers broke his collar bone, otherwise they were all fine!
Wish I could find the video clip of Jody Crawforth bunny hopping the hurdles in the nationals, that was definitely impressive!
