Title: Thread changed: Yeti 303 or sunday?
Post by: Shimano on August 25, 2008, 17:47:11 PM
I ride an Ironhorse sunday in a size medium, and am thinking about a size long yeti 303 instead. which would you go for and why? no "get a sunday sam hill has one or they're immense with no reason" comments please
thanks

Hey Bud

This link takes you to the Geo for the 303. 

http://www.yeticycles.com/#/ourrides/303_DH/TEAM/

The frame size will be pretty much the same as your Sunday but the top tube will be 1 inch longer.  Im 5ft10, and Ive got a medium sunday, and Ive ridden my mates medium 303, and the sizing feels almost identical.  You would be best to try the 303 first I think, due to the longer top tube.

If its a pre 08 frame, then Im pretty sure they were only 2 sizes, the only difference being the top tube size.  If you and unsure give Bromley Bike Co a call as they are the importers for the UK, and super clued up.

24" you say? well a 17" Sunday frame has a 23.5, so nearly the same, and to be honest I find it a teeeny bit short as I have grown a couple of inches since I bought it!
cool thanks for the help!!

yes but tt measurements vary between brands!

a 24 inch yeti is super roomy a sunday medium is shorter! by a fair bit, I have ridden both!

ah OK, would you say I could ride one comfortably, I can ride a large glory zero?
and I could do with a slightly longer bike
thanks
