The last time I "almost" was able to buy one was a couple years ago. I found it in a shop in Chicago (I am in Maryland). It was $550, but they had to ship it...
Hey All, As promised I've created a folder with several pic's of the Crack/ring mark on my frame. They may not be clear enough as I took the pic's @ low...
Hi everyone, It seems like a good portion of postings here are about Y foil frame cracking, etc. My question is this: Has anyone EVER actually had or heard of...
In the very first road race I ever did, promptly after building my Y-Foil and looking like a fool with my non-cycling apparel, I saw another rider on a black...
When analysing these paint cracks, keep in mind that carbon fibre, when it fails it fails catastrophically. If it were to fail, the carbon frame would fail and...
Hi - New to this group - was wondering where the best place to find an extra large Y-foil bike/frame? I believe that a 62cm is as big as I have seen in most...
I have seen this "crack" on my frame for a couple of years. I think that there are many other here that are in the same boat. I am certainly not worried about...
Josh, Good luck even on Ebay, I look there daily for a 62cm(currently ride a 59cm Y) and in 2 yrs I have only seen 1 62cm.Unless you're over 6'3'' a 59cm would...
Gene, How tall are you? Inseam? I'm 6'2, 34". I am about to build up my 59cm Y-Foil and can't decide whether to use parts off my current road bike and see how...
Scott, I'm 6'1'' w/ a 34'' inseam also. I'm blessed with long legs and a short upper torso. Right now my 59cm seat height is at 79cm or 31'' from center of...
A lot of us are looking for a 62cm... I am 6'4" with 36" inseam (at least!) and the 59cm is fine as a time trial set up. In fact, crazily I have a 56cm that I...
I'm there with you Scott on the size. I stand a hair over 5'10" but with an inseam that is 34 or more (scolyosis) and I ride a 56cm frame. I have the fast...
Same here - I'm 6'2" with 34" inseam. I ride a 59cm Foil. Would like to have had a 62, but they just weren't any to be found and I got tired of waiting. I fit...
Was cleaning and waxing my Foil this weekend, and found the paint crack. Nothing bad, but I was getting a bit worried that I'd had this bike three years and...
Thanks all that have responded who are only 6'3" or 6'2", etc. - where a 59 would be passible, but my son is a few inches taller and still growing, due to the ...
Y-66 for sale. 51 cm. Mint condition, never really rode it. Bike looks the same as the day I bought it. Ultegra components, upgraded the wheels to Rolf Vector...
New to group. Looking for a 62 cm y foil; complete bike or frame. I understand they are hard to find. Was hoping to find leads. I am 6'7" with 35: inseam so...
You and at least a dozen others!!! ... From: "grady949802" <grady949802@...> To: <yfoil@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2005 9:13 AM ...
Casey, I broke mine last March. Actually it was a car that hit me from behind that caused the break. The chainstay took most of the force. I was lucky enough...
Hello, I'm new to the Y-Foil. I received it as a gift. It's a 1998. I'm still adjusting it to me. Is the bike durable enough to be a daily ride? I don't...
There has been a lot of discussion here about frame cracks and damage recently. You might want to read through those messages, they are archived. For the...
Welcome to the group, Charley. The Y-Foil, though predominantly used by a lot of folks as a TT/Tri bike, is a very capable road bike. Mine started out as a...
I have 11,472 miles on mine. Other than the standard paint crack in the bonding joint above the bottom bracket and a few dings from road crud on the leadin ...
Thanks for the information. I don't really speak the cyclists lingo yet. I'm not a racer or an athlete. I just like to ride. I can sustain 16 mph average...
Aluminum bikes should be worse than the y-foil. Carbon fiber is not subject to fatigue, at least not to the degree that you have to worry about with...
