May 1, 2023RSD MiddleChild v2, Medium
$1850 USDIf you’re looking at this post, you likely know what you’re looking at already. This is the second generation of this bike, and they made it even better than v1. RSD says it’s “the rowdiest member of their family” - long, slack, short stays, long dropper capability, room for wide tires, etc. It’s also really versatile - can be run geared or singlespeed with the sliding rear dropouts (I tried both) and with 27.5 wheels or 29er wheels (I only ever tried 29er).
If you’re looking at this post and you *don’t* know what you’re looking at, or you’re evaluating against other “rowdy, aggressive hardtail enduro” style bikes, check out the review by hardtail enthusiast, Steve - the “Hardtail Party” guy… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4DsQzSkHMo Read the comments, too. People love this bike.
I bought this brand new last year as a complete build from RSD and have put just shy of 1000 miles on it. I also upgraded a few things when I converted to singlespeed:
Gold 30t Absolute Black oval chainring
Gold seatpost clamp, gold headset spacer and valve stem caps
Gold KMC ½ link chain
Schwalbe Hans Dampf 2.35 front tire (new)
Specialized Ground Control 2.3 rear tire (new)
Surly 20t cog
Full 3M frame protection
I’m also including everything that came with the stock build, so you get the GX Eagle shifter, rear derailleur, cable, housing, quick release seat clamp, lizard skin chain stay wrap, and SRAM 30 tooth round chainring. Note, I’m keeping the cassette that came w/ the bike, so you’ll need to spec a new one if you want to ride geared. Also note, this bike came with a Rockshox Pike and RaceFace Turbine bars, so you get a little extra performance and bling compared to the new spec RSD is selling. Last note, pedals not included - not that you’d want to ride the cheapies I have on it now for test rides :)
* BUYER will pay all shipping costs & associated fees. Will only ship to lower 48. Pinkbike's recommended BuySell Safety Tips will be followed explicitly for this transaction to protect both parties.

How to Watch the Les Gets World Championships
Absolute BS that we still can’t watch this in the country that invented the damn sport. Get your shit together UCI.

Sep 10, 2017Canfield Brothers Yelli Screamy
$666 USDThis is the frame that redefined 29er hardtail trail bikes. The aggressive geometry set the stage for what is now the "Industry Standard" for short travel, aggressive all mountain 29er hardtails. I've ridden this beauty geared & singlespeed on everything from buttery smooth flow trails to the gnarliest, rocky, ledge filled trails that the US has to offer...this bike handled it all with ease! I'm really torn about letting my beloved Yelli Screamy go to a new home but I need to thin the stable to make room for new toys.
What you'll be getting is a fully customized build that's not only extremely capable of gobbling up any trail you throw at it but it's quite a looker too. The attention to detail on this build really sets it apart from other bikes you'll see on the trail.
Here is a rundown on the build:
Small Yelli Screamy frame - black
Fox Float 100mm fork - decals removed for that murdered out look
Orange Industry 9 hubs laced to Stans Flow EX rims - bomber wheels, stay stiff & true with very little maintenance needed
KS LEV DX 100mm dropper post
Race Face 32 tooth NW Chainring
SRAM 10 speed Cassette - I rode this bike singlespeed so tons of life left
SRAM X9 rear derailleur & shifter in blingy white
TruVativ Stylo Cranks - 175mm
Specialized Henge saddle w/ Hollow Cro-Mo rails - surprisingly comfortable saddle with a nice low profile
Cane Creek headset w/ orange ano bolt on top cap - bling!
Chromag Ranger stem - 90mm
Bontrager Low Riser alloy, 31.8mm, 5mm rise handlebars - Brand new! Nice and wide so you can trim to fine tune your fit
Brand new Bontrager grips
Avid Elixer 5 brakes in blingy white
Orange Salsa Seatpost clamp
Crank Bros QR skewers - more orange bling
Add in the white cable housing and you've got a bike that really turns heads and gets people's attention on the trail. This bike took my riding to another level & built my confidence on our rocky Austin trails like no other bike has.
At this price you're getting the deal of a lifetime - the wheels alone would be $1000+ to build up new. With that said, the bike is used and I did my best to show all the little wear and tear in the pictures (scratches on seat stays, chain stays, rims, etc.)
Feel free to contact with any questions or to set up a time to check it out in person.

Thanks blindstuff, you point out all of the things I wish I could change about this video. It was a spur of the moment "let's go make a video" type of deal. I kept telling him to ride as close to me as possible but it didn't really happen...plus he starting getting tired and falling further back the more into the video you get, which does mess with the pacing.
You're right about the GoPro being tough to work with...especially when you're using a tiny phone screen to set up shots. I did change the field of view depending on the specifics of a given shot, most were medium while some were wide. Definitely need to experiment more to get the best results. A proper tripod & a willing cameraman would help too, stationary shot after stationary shot can get stale but I made due with what we had to work with.
Thanks again for watching and taking the time to give some feedback, I really appreciate it.
