I really like what I see and read about the ASR for a race bike (last year I was on a Dean Ti Hardtail). BUT... I weigh 205 and have broken a frame or two in my past. As a reasonably light-weight frame, does the ASR hold up?

(I ride a Turner 5-spot for general trail riding & love it for that, but I am looking for a race-specific bike - not a hardtail. I can use the 5 spot for most training, too, so the ASR wouldn't need to take unusual abuse - mainly races and some training rides).

Frames break....and thats that.

there was a thread on here about a similar subject. I think somebody asked yeti, and they gave a max weight out for the AS-R.

can't remember what it was though.

you could always email them.
