How much do you reckon this bike is worth and how do you rate it?

[OskarTennisChampion]

It's ebay, so I expect the seller thinks is worth a million pounds, and to all the potential buyers it's worth 50p. Too many of those "flog it" programmes makes everyone an expert these days!

This is true.
There was a 21 year old Yeti MTB on eBay for a £1000.With a 12 year old fecked Sus fork on it .

In his description,he said the frame was a ' classic',and the price reflected the quality,and the quality of the new parts on it.I counted up the cost of the new parts to £70 tops.The older stuff was XT and XTR ,good quality,but was pitted,bent cables and ready for the skip.The frame was in really bad shape too.
I couldn't help myself,and offered him £50.
He sent back a message,saying not to be silly,and asked why I insulted him.
I duly told him the above.
Funnily enough he posted a question and answer from someone saying the exact same thing,with the exact same offer.
He took it off after my message,and I really don't feel guilty for pointing out his cheek and looking for the gullible buyer.

However much someone who wants to buy it wants to pay for it

Looks huge as mentioned and a bit tatty

What was wrong with the Cannondale?

Someone pointed out it only had clearance for 23mm tyres so not worth it.

All relative I suppose, one of mine is a 58 and fits like a glove.

I've seen 3 threads by Accy about bikes and not sure how tall he is? That would help!

6ft 1inch. I currently have a 58cm frame but i like them small,even 54cm.

I'm the same height but I'm not sure I could cope with a 54.

If you prefer a smaller frame I'm not sure another 58 is the right move, though it is a nice bike.

A 54 will be way too small for you. I'm 6' 3" and ride a 58/60 depending on the manufacturer.

I sold one of these on Ebay about November. Same frame, but Di2 not Dura Ace. 2013 model - I got about £1100 for it and the guy was very happy. It was a 54

Can the focus take 25s? Not that there is much difference if any ime

I'm pretty sure the Izalco will take 25 mm tyres. The 2015 and 1016 models certainly will.

mine (above) did. I had 23mm on but stuck a spare pair of 25mm when I sold it and they were fine

Nice bike @jay clock ,but I especially like the Ritchey stem

I thought it was a Synapse, mine takes 25mm and mud guards.

Evo six I think

Any 21 year old Yeti frame will be a classic. They were the absolute dogs in the 90s - right up there with Klein...

You would think so @Citius ,but this one was not so much the Dogs,much more Dogs Dinner.
It wasn't the type of frame you would associate with Yeti's of the 90's.It looked more like a Raleigh Activator
