they are half and half, my 303 was half made here, and half made in tiawan, from what i have heard, that is still how they do it, the "important" parts are made here and the less important parts are outsourced
Yeti 25th anniversary 303
- Thread starter 'size
- Start date
I'm still going to order one in the morning.
Ask around, I'll beat the hell out of it.

All depends on who you talk to. Plenty of hate for both if you look in the correct places.
Wat this guy said.
I am thinking about ordering one.

You are correct, instead I'll get a Demo and do a Spray on a Tan.
Cant speak for the Tan, but the new demo 8s are pretty sick, id also look at new turner DHR.
DO IT! Then I can buy it from you next year!
All kidding aside, The frames look great ansd it felt spot on too
I found one of the prototypes (I think) for sale, Yeti might be clearing house before the painted ones show up.

Strange eh? Guy has 0 posts ever, joined today, and he's asking 10K?!?!?
and loads of bikes have been stolen at interbike last night...
Can't say I've been missing it Bob.
Well, I got my name down for one. It will see dirt, but probably won't be raced too much.
I understand that, for 2011 you can get one of 60 WC 303 25th,all made in USA by The Yeti welder who makes the team bikes. So Gwins is the same as yours.
The 303 RDH will still be available.
There will be no 303 25th WC type frame with a 'regular' paint job available in all of 2011.
Should be here within a month too.

Dear Yeti,
I want to buy your DH bike. But I'm still suspect of the rails and the fact that every time I turn around you have a new iteration certainly doesn't help. Otherwise you are pretty freakin sweet.
Signed,
A long time CO rider who would like to support you
PS - Thank you for Bigfoot productions and the MSC Series!

Putting my money down on one today.
I hate you.
Money is now down on the 303 and on a 575 for the girlfriend.
Let me tell you about how today was expensive...

I'm waiting on an email...
From my experience the only people who have issues with the rails are those who have never ridden or owned the bike. After a season of racing on the east coast my frame is in better shape than any of the other people I ride with. This includes a mix of intense, specialized, trek, Santa Cruz, etc. Paint, bearings, and hardware on my rdh have been completely issue free. With you being a Colorado rider I see that as even less of a concern.
As far as new designs coming out more frequently I don't see yeti being any different than the other manufacturers.
You're right. Since its all sun and fun here in CO, we can rely on old skool teknoligy like bearings
Moar rails and east coast rox FTW!
ouch. i hope you didnt pay retail
you dont think $3800 is just a bit steep for a fancy paint job?
or pre-paid for it. Hope you get your bike soon.
PLENTY of other fantastic bikes available for HUNDREDS less...hell the M9 is almost $1k less
and all the other bikes are available right now.
dont get me wrong, its a sweet lookin bike, but $3800 is bonkers.
dont know why "they" wouldnt let you. its your money and said product has yet to be delivered. if you got it from a shop, ask to move the deposit to something that is available now.
Wow, that is a lot of $$$ for a fancy paint job (which I don't like)
you dont think $3800 is just a bit steep for a fancy paint job?
You guys do realize that this frame isn't available otherwise, right? I guess they might offer it later on for less but that remains to be seen.
