2012/2013 Yeti Big Top 29'er Hardtail Mountain Bike Frame: Carbon Rear, 135mm, Black, MEDIUM 18"

The Yeti Big Top 29er has been called the hardtail 575.  As in it's an amazingly capable hardtail that just slays anything you can throw at it, just like the Yeti 575 has for years.  It is trail-tuned, and thus isn't quite as rocket like on the climbs as say a Trek Superfly HT.  But, it is going to be a more confident descender than that same Superfly.  The frame has interchangeable dropouots.  This one comes with standard 135mm QR vertical dropouts for a derailleur setup, but you can buy horizontal dropouts to bolt on and run this frame singlespeed.  It has a removeable ISCG mount, proving it's not made just for silky smooth XC use.  The front triangle is 7005 aluminum, rear is high modulus carbon fiber to reduce chatter and weight.  There's a plethora of reviews on the Big Top, they're all worth reading.

*I do have parts to build this up with, XT 10sp groupset w/brakes, Easton EC90 Trail wheelset, Thomson Seatpost, & Thompson carbon bars.  Other components such as saddles, pedals, grips, etc throughout website. If you're buying the frame and all the parts to build it up completely, reach out and ask for a discount.*

Condition

Great used condition, with cosmetic marks from normal use.  Overall it looks great, and I'd rate it 7 out of 10.  Paint is glossy, decals unworn.  No major finish wear.  There are the usual chips and scratches from rocks and dirt being thrown up from the tires, especially on the underside.  NO dents, cracks, bends, gouges, or carbon damage.  The only thing of note is the middle cable guide.  It has paint wear on it, and a non-stock bolt (that works, but doesn't look amazing. but who's looking under the top tube anyway?). There's also paint damage on either side of the guide. Likely it's original bolt head stripped, and the finish damage happened removing it.  Headset appears smooth and in great shape.
