It took 2 years and a surprisingly low amount of miles, but I broke the frame on the Yeti. While riding with Tim and Toshi, the bike lost it's battle with a firmly planted rock, putting a dent into the chainstay. I'm waiting to hear back from the shop, who needs to hear back from Yeti, but I'm not confident that there will be any spare L/XL rear triangles for the SB66c. If they don't have one, then I have a currently rideable bike that will eventually fail. When that fail occurs, I will have a very good condition 26" build and a hard sale to Wifey to build a new bike. ie. Not likely to convince her to let me buy a new bike outright. I would most likely end up getting a used 26" frame and riding that until it dies.
So to the point: If you were buying a used 26" trail bike to replace the SB66c, what would you get?
Requirements:
Dropper post friendly
1.125/1.5" head tube
Wookie long TT
5-6" travel
Gravity happy, but can still pedal
Carbon preferable, but not mandatory. I like light though.
I'd prefer to not end up with an SB66 Al, because it's heavy as fuck.
I'm open to just about anything, as long as it's long.
