Missed half of what he said cause I was entranced by the Yeti SB-66s rolling off in the background.
Agreed. I love the looks of Mach 5.7 Carbon….if I pull the trigger this Spring it will be down to that or the SB-66.
Nice. Have you received my order yet!
Is this basically the same bike as the Ibis SL-R?
Wonder how the carbon will ride and feel?
And the Mach 4 carbon?
When will the Carbon 429 be ready? This definitly not an Ibis.
