garymcq23 · 28 Sep 2016 at 21:55

yeah it will be mostly on trails really dont know what to do here lol. really like the jeffsy its just them 29 inch wheels putting me off as ive never ridden a 29er but it is getting great reviews, most yeti bikes seem to get great reviews

garymcq23 · 29 Sep 2016 at 18:39

large frame is sold out on the jeffsy to

garymcq23 · 29 Sep 2016 at 19:47

dont think the conversion rate great is great at the minute the way im working it out the jeffsy comp1 is going to cost around £2000 give or take.

i noticed yeti charge you £20 for the bike to be put in a box the miserable sods and then another £60 to ship

The equivlant Yeti to Jeffsy is £3600 unless I'm mistaken?

It's quite hard to compare the two at that price.

not quite sure what you mean equivalent yeti to jeffsy? do you mean the jeffsy cf pro?

garymcq23 · 29 Sep 2016 at 23:33

im really getting pulled towards the whyte t130s with the reviews its been getting and the facts that there is a whyte dealer just up the road from me

garymcq23 · 30 Sep 2016 at 14:57

I sent I yeti a email and they said the jeffsy is sold out and won't be getting it back in stock

garymcq23 · 30 Sep 2016 at 16:54

I'm eyeing up that YT Capra... that is one sexy bike and its fractionally within my budget now just need to find stockists in the Swindon area.

im near sure there is no dealers, you can only buy direct from yt. im sure one of the other lads will be able to tell you for sure

I ride a Trance X0 and it's absolutely incredible. Every one of my friends that have taken it for a ride are just blown away by how snappy it feels and allows you to throw yourself into corners.

Not sure I'd recommend a 29'er unless you like to ride smooth and steady.

no that isn't my style i love to go as fast as i can usually to fast for my skill level which normal ends up with me in a ditch lol.

i think i have changed my mind 3 times today lol :confused:

im now looking at this strive and saving a few beer tokens

thanks for the input lads i ended up going for this canyon strive in jet grey https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/mtb/strive/2016/strive-al-6-0-race.html

really liked the yt capra and jeffsy but unfortunately they had not got my size in stock and wouldn't be getting the jeffsy back in ever again. so my options was to wait for the capra coming back in or else get the canyon or the whyte t130s in the end the canyon won, fingers crossed it gets shipped to me within the next few days so that i can get back out riding
