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

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

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 :cry:

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.

Parcelforce quoted rates are:

Global Priority - tracked and signed etc. > http://www.parcelforce.com/microsite/in ... alpriority

£59.80 !!

Global Value - not tracked > http://www.parcelforce.com/microsite/in ... lobalvalue

£46.75 :(

Clearly there's been some major price hikes...
