2006 Yeti 575 Med $1500

Amazing trail bike around here. 5.75" of travel. Weighs ~24lb. Fast, smooth, light, responsive. Climbs better than newer models and has higher BB clearance. Rear triangle was replaced under warranty and I've only gotten the chance to ride it six times since then at RCP. I just put new hydraulic brakes on it (Altus... don't laugh I did a lot of comparison and they're lighter than very high-end brakes, have all the stopping power you need for any trail you'll find around here, and they are easy to service; they're better than the older XTs they replaced).

1x10 XT drivetrain. Tubeless Easton wheelset with less than one season of use. Lots of very, very nice bits on this bike. This is also one of the very last US built bikes Yeti made.

I'll let the photos speak for themselves. I'll even throw in the bike carrier.

$1500. The wheels alone are worth $900. You won't find anything close to this bike for twice the cost in a bike shop.

Wrong market, half the people here drive $1,500 cars

Ignore CosmosMpower. There are actually several members here that do a lot of riding. I can think of 5 forum members that I know personally off the top of my head that ride.

Yeti makes a great bike. DORBA FB classifieds will get a lot more eyeballs.

Nice bike. If I did not already have a Cannondale Level 5 I would consider it. Just can't justify that kind of $$$ when I already have a decent one.

Same here. My Ellsworth is all the bike I could ever need, and fits like a glove. The only downside to buying top-notch bikes is that they can easily outlive the owner, so its a lot harder to justify something newer until it breaks or is obsolete. I just retired my 95 Cannondale hardtail after 15K trail miles and the frame fatiguing to the point of the rear triangle being misaligned.
My "new" road bike is tailchaser's old carbon bike, and the DA groupo basically works like new still. Very miata-esque. :)

I also have a slightly less expensive Santa Cruz Superlight. Both are also on DORBA.

These are really, really nice bikes that get exceptional care. I'll even fit them for the buyer and perform the labor for parts swap if the buyer wants something different.

That kind of scratch won't buy much of a bike from a shop...

I'm also open to partial trades for nice Miata bits.

I thought a Yeti was a high dollar cooler. Guess they make expensive bikes too ;-) You guys would all be appalled by my Giant.

LOL, two different companies. I would guess the bikes predate the coolers, but who knows?

It was a joke. I figured the 2 companies weren't related, but I didn't look into it either.

I'm surprised that they have such similar font... You'd be amazed how many times folks think it is a promotional bike made for the cooler company. I guess that proves more folks drink than ride, which isn't really much of a surprise. LOL
