Ordered my 2012 Yeti 303WCDH frame last week.

Now the waiting game begins. I think I should start some sort of betting pool here on RM as to when it gets delivered.

Anyone ever dealt with Yeti on their new frames and delivery times? I know they're not really out yet, but they are taking orders.

I'm just hoping this isn't a redux of when I ordered the new 2007 Santa Cruz V10. Supposed to get it in March, wasn't even an option or a glimmer of hope by the Sea Otter.

Hopefully I'll have it before it gets into the 110* range here in Phoenix!

I heard the frame may be available in XL. Where did you order your frame from?

 

[MinorThreat]

^^ Sizes will be S, M, L, XL - - in black only.

I'm going to guess late April.

Do you know if it is a real XL or Trek XL sizing? I've looked around but can't find any real numbers.

[DirtMcGirk]

I ordered mine in PA.

I am hoping for April, that would be optimal. However, I am not going to hold my breath. Last time I did that I got worked up into a murderous rage when it came to Santa Cruz and one of their reps who I still hope gets hit by a bus.

I love Yeti. I'm a bit too much of a fanboi for that brand. So I am just going to sit back, relax, wait for the frame to hit my dealer, and then about a week after that it'll hit my doorstep.

But if Yeti is reading this, I'd be your best buddy if I got it before the end of April. It gets butt-hole hot down here after that.

Sorry, haven't seen the actual numbers yet. Hopefully they will think to publish actual reach and stack figures too when they do.

Steve... don't be so negative.

April 1st

 

[IH8Rice]

Steve... don't be so negative.

sorry. Yeti will probably actually deliver their product i didnt mean to disrespect them

 

[S.K.C.]

...and the Yeti thanks you for that sir.

No one wants to contribute to wild conjecture and erroneous accusations.

That would just be irresponsible.

 

[riderfalls]

Well, I can't comment on Yeti, but I ordered an Intense before Christmas and it just got to the shop last week. The fork showed up and they were all set to build it, when Fox called them and said they shipped the wrong year fork, so now it'll be a week or so more.....And right now, we're having the warmest January for a while in PA. So I'm guessing middle of May. Good luck.

 

[cecil]

I bet you will get it a few days after they ship it

 

[DirtMcGirk]

Gee, you're helpful.

Sounds exactly like dealing with Santa Cruz! The only real change here is I really like the guys at Yeti, and hope it does not come down to having to punch anyone this time around.

****ing pirates.

****ing pirates.

Now they've got all my goods and my Yeti. No good scurvy bastards.

 

[Freeridin']

Are all Yeti frames made in CO? I though it was only team issue frames.

 

[DirtMcGirk]

I don't think most of them are built in CO anymore. Not sure about the real high end ones or not.
Wish they still were, but at $3k for the frame, I can live with them not being built there anymore.

 

[Full Trucker]

This.

And also, just after I get mine.

 

[jonKranked]

no. dunno about the team issue stuff though, but i suspect no.

I still have my US made yeti

 

[Mulestar]

Putting it on their website would be a good start. I'm interested to see the exact specs on the build for the complete.

 

[MinorThreat]

Team issue and prototypes are still made in-house. CNC machine lurks in the back corner of the building. Production runs are done overseas. Used to be able to tell readily which ones were domestic, as they were the only frames allowed to sport the team colors. Lines got blurred on that around the time the 303R was introduced.

Supposed to be up any day now. I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you. I think you will be impressed

 

[DirtMcGirk]

Can you tell me when they're going to start shipping?

 

[MrPlow]

Pretty sure team doesn't have theirs yet. Surely they get them before you do.

 

[Mulestar]

Sweet. Planning on ordering one myself. It's gonna be some guesswork on sizing since I won't be able to test fit one in advance. I usually like small DH frames but since they offer 4 sizes i'm leaning toward medium.

 

[MinorThreat]

If you know reach and stack figures from frames that have fit you well, that will tell all. They haven't been publishing the numbers but they have them and will be able to give them to you if you ask.

 

[DirtMcGirk]

The upside of being 5'10" and of average length arms and legs is that a Medium will fit me in 99% of brands 99.5% of the time.

If I have it before the middle of April, I'll do a back flip.

And if you've never seen a fat man do a back flip, its something to behold!

 

[cecil]

Is it there yet!?!?

 

[DirtMcGirk]

Is it there yeti?
