New Yeti 4X race frame for Jared, 1 of 2 made, he wanted something a bit stiffer in the gate, and the E2 headtube is apparently to lower the front end, adjustable dropouts 400-420mm, and the waight should stay the same at around 2.2kg. Geo will remain the same, as it seems to work fine, hahahaha

Great looking frame

I saw the pics no problem. That is one beefy frame

I wonder when or if it will make production, I also wonder about the cranks, seeing he ran XTRs for a while now will he switch to Saints?

Sweet bike but tapered headtubes are lame!

I'd hit that

It uses the BMX rear end as JG wanted something that bit stiffer for his killer 2nd and 3rd pedal strokes. I believe it will be 2010 DJ although I would have thought it would have the BMX top tube (like all other gravity bikes).

One good reason, gimme one good reason why tapered headtubes are lame.

harder to machine, 2 different bearings, look ugly. unnecesary, tapered steerer tubes, just run 1.5 top and bottom ffs. another product designed to make redundant our perfectly good current setup and keep money out of our wallet. serves no other purpose IMO.

harder to machine? Why should i care?

different bearings? So what? I've got different bearings all over my bike, even on my 1 1/8" headset!

What does it make redundant? It means i can use all my stems, bars and fork. If i get a tapered fork i can still use that stem and bar too.

It's what 1.5 should have been in the first place, it would have saved a LOT of e-arguments.
