2005 Yeti 575 - Large - Raw

Well folks, I'm doing it. I'm selling my beloved Yeti 575! Not to worry, I'll be getting another XC bike as soon as this one sells. Out with the old, in with the new, that sort of thing. This bike is a great riding, all-mountain, do-everything sort of ride. She weighs in right around 27 lbs with hydraulic disc brakes and nearly 6" of plush suspension front and rear!

Here's a parts breakdown of her, so you know what you're getting into:

  • 2005 Yeti 575, size L, raw
  • 2004 Manitou Minute :01 fork
  • 2004 XTR Dual Control levers, Hydro disc brakes, and front and rear derailers
  • 2004 Mavic CrossMax wheelset (the black ones, model year before they did SL and XL models)
  • Chris King Headset
  • Easton Monkey Lite Carbon bars
  • Thomson 100mm 5 degree rise stem
  • Thomson seatpost
  • ODI Ruffian lock-on grips
  • Continental Vertical Pro tires
  • Terry Fly Ti rail saddle

Everything is in great shape, and she rides like a CHAMP. The only issue with the bike is the travel adjust knob on the bottom of the fork rattled off on a ride somewhere; the travel of the fork is still switchable from 110mm to 130mm, but you just need a small wrench to do it now. I never replaced it because I ride it with the fork set to 130mm at all times, which is how this bike was designed to be ridden. My apologies on the extra-awful cell phone picture, I'll be happy to oblige any inquiries with better pictures once I can borrow a digital camera instead of just using my cell phone. Speaking of pictures, the bike is shown here with a Fox DHX Air rear shock, and not the OEM spec'd Fox RP3. I traded one of the Yeti factory employees, and as far as I know this was a permanent trade but I will make sure he doesn't want his rear shock back before I commit to any buyer. Likewise, if the buyer would rather have the Fox RP3, I can see about trading back. The price would be the same regardless. The DHX Air is more adjustable and may suit heavier riders (like myself) better, but I've spoken to quite a few folks who like the RP3 better.

I am asking $3500 for the bike, but all serious inquiries and offers are being considered. Thanks for looking, and let me know if you are interested! Send me an email to evan.chute@gmail.com with any questions or offers.
