Yates is great... As above, if it was a couple of inches smaller I'd have just bought my second Diablo

What year is the D.Yates??

Hi, I take the Dave Yates frame set , you write like a PM, best regards Daniel

Hi Daniel, with the greatest respect I'm never going to sell this to someone in continental Europe for one-fifty posted. If you want me to look at courier costs for Germany then please state a delivery post code. Regards RG

Hi, of course, I do not mind paying the difference between the shipping to the UK for the shipping to me, you've just written a PM best regards Daniel

Dave Yates diablo provisionally sold pending agreement on delivery costs to Germany.

i sent a titanium gt to germany this year ,it cost about £30 fully insured

I had an MCM some years ago, it really is a fantastic frame. Im sure the same frame with a more "cool" brand splashed across it would command 3 times the price and still seem a bargain.
Shame I am thinning the fleet

I agree, and comparing the two frames, the technology in the Giant is impressive, it's astoundingly light, and the quality is obvious, after all it's what 16/17 years old?, and still rides nimbly. The Yates, is well, it's a Yates, so is a dependable lump of steel (will I be hanged for this heresy?!?), with cachet associated to the name.

No lynching thoughts here - the Yates is just another steel frame in my eyes - I'd far prefer the giant even at same prices. Too long for me unfortunately.

Postal update:

The Yates frame, securely packed in a robust cardboard box weighs 8.5kg.
