YT mob? Sounds like a gang of hoodies from an Ali G movie

[rock]

so that logo looks like Yeti, the bike 'looks' like a Spez and how on earth did Aaron and Martin kiss and make up after the Trek affair?????

[mon-goose]

Yea not really big news this I think they should released this long time ago,not really A "ooooohhhhaaaahhhh" moment now especially with Mcgazza that passed away less then a week ago. All that is very fresh on people's minds still.

YT is then , but it looks like we all knew that .....

I think they share his passion for salary levels.

Old news, everybody knew this....if they were hoping for a bang, they failed

Imagine this "new unknown" bike takes a victory or 2 over the big boys this season.

 

Could it then be a case of "It's not about the bike"

According to the interview on Pinkbike, all the geometry changes he wanted to make to the spaz were in place on the YT all along.

Really, REALLY lekker interview, here... 

 

I'm facing a crisis. I love the YT brand, and what it stands for. But I don't like Gwin, even though he is definitely a fantastic rider.

This is why I kinda knew they will sign Gwinn

I think they delayed the announcement due to the passing of McGarry. Also a YT rider.
