New Yeti ARC's - Are they any good ?

[dekerfintheshed]

What's the score with the later Yeti ARC's. I assume they're robot built now in the Far East maybe but are they any good. Always fancied one and seen a good deal on an 09 2nd hand one but questioning whether to go for it. Are they actually all that anyway ? Bit of a steel man myself normally, would I regret the change ??

Not as nice as an old one! Seriously a mate of mine has just got a 2009 ARC and its quite nice,I may even get one next year

They are lovely !

I have a new one hanging up here and it's soooo nicely finished, bearing surfaces faced to perfection, cool headbadge and still with those groovy loopy chainstays!

lovely well made, but in taiwan.
If I had to buy modern, I probably would. .
I'll get one in 15 years to complete the collection, when they're old enough to be retro. ..
