Both are now outlawed under USA Cycling rules, which REALLY sucks, but since the Stealth is still in manufacture, I'd have to lean towards it, even though it...

Thanks for the info Harry, I'm glad to be part of the group. I'm even happier to know the crack isn't a major flaw! Phil Gastilo ... Thanks for the info...
Hey Rick, Thanks for the insight, I'll definately keep an eye on the crack (that doesn't sound right) but you know what I mean! =) Right now you can barely...
The BP2 looks cool but have you considered a CarbonSports Total Eclipse? I think it looks closer to the Y than the BP. Does anyone know if this bike is...
P.S. Duhh, just read the Frame section of their website. The Total Eclipse is not UCI legal but allowed in USCF events. LiveStrong! Phil Gastilo 301.567.6409...
Gold, gold Rolf wheels, red seat...total George Jetson look. It sure is a bouncy ride--it will force me to work on good circles. In fact it may be the...
Peter, Congradulations on the new build. Nothing wrong with George Jetson or his Hot little daughter, Judy. Or at least that's what I thought when I was a kid....
Just to let everyone know here in the Y-Foil Group that I have noticed the recent spam post and have deleted them and banned the members who posted. Nat, ...
The Y really shows it's strenth in a tri setup as it was engineered for time trials. Climbing is not it's best feature but decending and flats are. I've just...
Hi, I'm in Kailua, Oahu. Y66 is the same thing too so do you feel any bounce on yours? I would only think the beam softrides and bikes like them would have...
My gold bouncy ball is OK with lower cadences, but at 100 and up I've got to really concentrate to reduce the bounce. My road bike is a Lemond/Trek Al job...
I have read of other riders mentioning a bounce, after some time in the saddle I have to say the bounce was all in my head. During the first 2 weeks of riding,...
I justed joined this club. Recently I built up a y-foil 66 and then bad things happened unfortunately. There is a crack in my frame, however the bike rides...

Thanks for answering. it is on the non drive side, upper rear stay. It does not make noise, but does not look like it will last forever. What do you think?...
... I have one, possibly two, 56cm USPS blue frames for sale. I am the original owner. They are as new and unbuilt. The group consensus seems to be that...
... I do not have pictures handy but I am charging some batteries now to remedy that. I am the original purchaser from a Trek dealer. The frames have never ...
I have attached a photo of the "crack" on my frame which is just above the bottom bracket. this is a assemble joint that shows on almost all Yfoils and is not...
Hi, I have a question for the group. Ive had my Y foil for about 3 months very fast downhill and in the flats, climbing is no different than my Lemond Alp...
... The rider, of course. For hard, get-out-of-the-saddle-and-mash-it climbing there is less loss of power if the frame does not flex around the bottom...
I have been riding my YFoil since 1998 and love the downhill and flat cruising slickness. Bottom line, when it comes to climbing, leg strength and stamina are...

George, I'll second that. The Y is/was a good racing bike - very neutral in its' handling - and anyone that complains about that extra pound while climbing ...
