Last week I purchased a Yeti ASR 5 from the Singletrack Factory in Denver. I was going to wait until next year to replace my 5-year old Cannondale Scalpel, but then my brother bought an ASR 5 and my original plan fell apart quickly. As soon as I moved to Denver from Indianapolis 3 years ago, I knew that the Scalpel wasn’t really suited for my riding along the Front Range. I’m old, I don’t race, and I needed more travel in back. But I waited patiently (until last week) to make a change.
