Look For This On The Trails Soon

[chqm8]

I had this Yeti (http://www.yeticycles.com/Bikes/Bikes575.cfm) on top of my car last night.

The thing is SICK.

Unfortunately it isn't mine. I brought a friend to the LBS to pick it up. It's fresh from Golden, CO and mannnn is it beautiful.

I admit...I'm jealous.

(edited to add) His is black.

I love the Marin. (it's the '07 Mt Vision)

I think it's a bit lighter than the Yeti 575 but the Yeti has a little more travel.

It has good clearance, rides nice and smooth sucking up bumps and climbs really well.

I have no complaints at all with it.

IT sure is a nice lookin bike and I hear nothing but good things about Marin's suspension design (may look a little bulky down around the swingarm area - but if it works - who cares!)

When you look at it in person it looks like it should weigh about 40 pounds......but then you pick it up and it's surprisingly light.

I think Marin's website states that it weighs approximately 28.5 pounds but I've never put it on a scale to confirm or deny it.

The '08 Mt Vision is available in orange which I think looks really nice.

No we got it in Westport....Village Bicycles (http://www.villagebicycle.com/).

The owner of the shop (Jim) was so impressed with the Yeti that once this first one was delivered he turned around and ordered 3 more.

That's a nice looking bike. Your friend will not be disappointed with its performance.

Call me old-school, but I still like the simple, straight lines of the older models' top tube.
