Iwan Kemp Posted August 18, 2014 Share You know exactly what geometry you want - maybe you should just put pen to paper, design it and have a custom bike builder build it for you? To get a dual made costs $$$. Plenty of $$$. Was quoted R13k for a steel hardtail. And just as I knew EXACTLY what (I think) I want I went for a ride on my HDR...

rock Posted August 20, 2014 Share lets start leaning this toward the Vipa side.....100 at back, 120 up front. http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/2015_Yeti_ASRC_Profile_Turq_Clip.jpg enjoi and ThePubSA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted August 20, 2014 Share Saw that. What got me most excited was the longer top tube & reach as well as slacker (for a 100mm XC bike) head angle. They're doing it right! 1.9kg frame weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally Yeti bias but damn that looks good! Hope they bring a ASR5 that 120mm at the back would just be so much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they made the decision for you.Head angle is good and they've given you the longer TT you have been wanting.Plus it will just mean a frameset as oppsed to a complete bike. CHEAP!!

Iwan Kemp Posted August 28, 2014 Share Yip. Now we wait for final details. If the seat tube is shorter per size as it looks in the pics I may even be able to with a XL frame to test my frankenbike theory. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
