Alouette3 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Large Ali 2016 Jeffsy 29er... I love Jeffsy. That bike just wants to play!
Alouette3 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 What's the deal with the YT kit at Black Sheep? Are they the guys from the YT website just selling off old stock? Saw they have 2 x M Jeffsy Frames there at R17K a pop. Seems like a good deal but wonder about the warranty. Think these are carbon frames too. New so Warranty would still stand.
Dirt Tracker Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Think these are carbon frames too. New so Warranty would still stand. 2 x carbon frames the Black one is looking nice. Judging by the reviews the older one was more fun and the new version has lost a little something with the new revisions / geo.
Duane_Bosch Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Wonder if I bumped into you at the Constantia Engen a while ago. Spotted a nice YT with those mods and thad a chat. Rouges and renthal were the things I spotted. maybe. I have a Grey Ford ranger
Duane_Bosch Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Why, resale value?Pretty much. When I sold my reign Savage said I was lucky to get anything for it.
Nakoota Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 My Jeffsy gets pimped for everything. Slack and fun for the trails I can get hold of in JHB and light and "Fast" when I need a marathon bike. 2 months ago I rode race to the sun with a colleague and client. Not having an XC option for the race and knowing that my partners where using an XC bike and a full rigid Zaskar 26" weighing under 9kg I knew I had to make a plan. Out came the Spez Renegade tyres, the spare Ryder seatpost and a seatpost mounted bottle cage. We did 167km at 25.2km/h and Jeffsy surprised me the whole way... and made me thankful I wasn't riding a bloody rigid on the 20km corrugated section! Once home I put the dropper back in, switched the Nobby Nics back on and popped off to break some bones at Rietvlei. The only problem I have with Jeffsy is that I'm getting old and my body is starting to disagree with my personal mantra that if you are not falling you are not learning.

Hairy Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 After not seeing these frames for ages one pops up todayhttps://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/378628-2018-yt-jeffsy-al-frameset-large/
Duane_Bosch Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Yissie. I'd get it. And get the dpx2 aswell Quickly looks in the classifieds for a fork to see if he can intercept.....
stefmeister Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Pretty much. When I sold my reign Savage said I was lucky to get anything for it.It would be a shame if 650b becomes the new 26". It will probably happen in SA, as everyone here is 29er befok. But the new craze of long travel and dh 29ers doesn't instill any confidence that 650b is going to stay for very long.

It's not like they'll suddenly stop working. I bought an Intense M9 with mere 26er wheels in pretty much brand new condition for almost nothing earlier in the year and took it to France and absolutely thrashed it. It cost less than what a rental would have cost and now I have a beautiful metalic blue Intense M9
T-Bob Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 After not seeing these frames for ages one pops up today https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/378628-2018-yt-jeffsy-al-frameset-large/ The Hub classifieds has better ad targeting than Google! The number of times there is a thread about this thing or the other and next thing... boom... there is it for sale and teasing you.
Yo-Yo Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 I had a Vitus VRX29, I tried a Reign, I tried a Transition, I tried a Pyga and probably a few others..... None of them felt 'right'. First ride on Jeffsy and it just felt like it was made for or trails. Any chance you can give a quick review on the frames / bikes you tried in that list? I was looking at the VRX and Smuggler, Kona Process and an Evil Following V1 and the Jeffsy. I've never ridden one but I've seen there are some older version ones for sale locally. I'm looking for a trail bike and not an enduro sled, I'm coming off one of those and (in my opinion) they are not the best match for 80% of terrain around Cape Town. I just find them quite dead and no real urgency them. Of course you can ride them good any where but for me, and not everyone else obviously, I want a harder hitting trail bike that likes to go down and have a lot of fun while doing it.
Hairy Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Will find out for you in the morning .... we could do a 2 x bike discount purchase deal Waiting for Jaco to come in as he is out this morning .... he will call me back.
