So yesterday I pulled the trigger on a new bike after 15yrs. My local shop is in the process of liquidating it’s 2018 demo fleet. After the fire this summer they did not nearly see the miles they normally would have. So other than some scratches in the down tube from what looks like a poor decision on a car rack I picked up a pretty clean bike. (Covered scratches with a sticker)
extra large Yeti SB5.5 carbon.
Enduro 29er. 160mm front 140mm rear travel.
Took it on its first ride yesterday afternoon and I’m delighted. Climbs fantastic and descends equally as good. As I’m coming off old tech probably anything I picked would be a vast improvement. The only other new bike I have any trail time with is a Durango Bike Company “blackjack”.
The shop is 2nd Ave Sports in Durango for reference.
