I need to rebuild my love for my Yeti ASR5. It hasn't been ridden at all this year, and has only been ridden 5 times since it was built. It is begging to be used, but must now share space in the bike cave with my newly built Titanium OnOne and my Cannondale singlespeed. Post up your Yeti rides and get my hunger going enough to chuck it in the van and haul it up to Wales for some trail centre fun.
To get it started, here is mine

I'm being stupidly scared to get mine dirty... 😳
Have they stopped making the ARC5 then? Shame as it's a lovely bike.
Edit: Blimey 575 gone 650B too. Times they are a changin'.
what a waste, send all your unused yetis to me!
Another angle....

Not ridden mine or any other bike for that matter since Aug 11th when I crashed and fractured/fubar'd my wrist in the Alps 🙁 Amazing bike and miss it dearly.

so THAT's where all the triple chainrings are...
Wish the thieving bugger stole yours rather than mine. (not really, I'd rather none were taken!!)
Just browsing their site, the SB75 is an odd one, isn't it? A 27.5 Enduro bike that's heavier than a Bronson, but has less travel than a Solo?
Is that a turd on your grass next to the back wheel of your Yeti in the first pic?
only had it about 6 months, but love it!

I will come back when I have a pic of my Alfine'd 575 (the proper one with the knuckle in the frame) suitably covered in copious amounts of mud and leaves 🙂
Should anyone be interested in my Yeti ASR5C then i could be open to offers and feel free to Email in profile

Yup... Bloody sausage dog! Still, at least it's on AstroTurf so easy to clean up.

Your lovely new Tinbred was replaced by this:I might miss the Tinbred a bit, but this is bloomin marvelous
POSTED 2 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST
That is stunning!
The Tinbred is just having its brake hoses shortened and then it'll be done. Looks pretty good. Hope it rides well. I'll post up when it's ready.
My ASR5-C just after it had been built in the campsite. Light, stiff and so much fun. A fabulous bike. Then I crashed it on honeymoon and cracked the downtube

My old 575. Great bike owned it for nearly 6yrs. Cracked the first swingarm within a year. The 2nd one lasted until just after the 5yr warranty expired. Had that fixed and then the carbon unbonded itself from the pivot on the 2nd day of 2wk holiday, replaced by the ASR5-C

TheGingerOne, I want your Chesterfield.
Brakes, the Chesterfield is in the bike shop. That's how we roll down in Oxfordshire (ubyk) 😀
Dez, assuming it's all in GWO I'd be interested in the frame & fork, drop me an email when the time comes to sell. Is it a medium?
any excuse tbf 😀

Just knew that a big top would be along sooner or later. Great bike, wish I could afford 1x11 for mine.
A very poor shot of the fun bike, will attempt to upload some better images later tonight..

My 575. Bought it recently, lovely bike to ride, seems to do everything I want. Would happily ride long XC on it, pratting around in local woods, but really looking forward to some away trips, wales, the alps and paricularly the Passportes Du Soleil next year.
Edit: Have ditched the OE white grips, and dropper is on route next month 🙂
@ honourable george
yeah I think they have shot themselves in the foot a bit with that sb 75. I think there's a lot of asr5 riders waiting for a switch link equivalent but this one is about 2 lbs heavier than the 5. Plus, the SB 95 and 66 have gone to v=carbon rear swing arms this year, at no extra cost for about 1 lb less weight, so everyone will be guessing that the sb 75 will go the same way

kiwijohn... That looks amazing! The pikes look so good with it.
They are a perfect match.
oh, found some pics of my ex bikes too..
575, just a lovely bike, really regret selling it... ah hindsight, you are a cruel mistress 🙁

pic fail trailhound 🙁
great thread.
thegingerone , what frame is that, a dJ? have wondered if how a dj would ride as a more hardc ore xc type bike.
i think my yetis are even worse than the ops. my dj has been sat in the garage unused for at least 3 years. can't bear to sell it. my arc still muddy from last winter and in a state of disasemble as i put the parts onto a bike for my boy.
would like to buildu up an asr as a summer xc bike for distance rides though, wanted to for years, every now and then look on ebay and it pains me to see them go for 300quid or so.
First one..

...and I just accidentally ordered a 2014 SB66c... The wife is gonna kill me! 😥
The wife is gonna kill me!
No she wont, at worst she will not speak to you for a while, bonus, as this means you can ride your new SB66c more 😀
