Probably $500 - 600, that seems to be what a clean, relatively stock Y22 brings on ebay.

I've had my Y22 for about four years - about the only thing I haven't changed is the seatpost and handlebars, everything else got replaced, including frame (found a natural carbon frame cheap, looks cool).

The Y isn't considered a state of the art bike anymore, though a locking shock cures most of the complaints. I ended up with a Stratos XC Pro shock with remote lockout, works great. Same with the Atom 80 front fork, nothing but good experiences.

I like the Y22 - it's relatively inexpensive for what you get.

thanks for the quick response!
have u ever had any issues with it?

the one on ebay is pretty beat up..
and this one is kinda new so i am think over 1000$ is about right cuz it basically is buying a brand new bike retail..


What color scheme do you have?
tell me more!!!!!!!! thanks!

Not to disparage the Y, but $1k will get you something a little more contemporary, Trek Fuel or Giant NRS.

The Y is an interesting bike - mine is turned out in natural carbon fiber, which is especially good looking - but it's a bit heavier than the newer bikes, tends to bob more under heavy peadling. Locking shock helps that.

If I add up what I spent on mine, it's probably around $1k, but that's with Rolf Dolomite wheels, RaceFace Next crank, XTR brakes/shifters, Marzocchi front shock, Stratos XCPro rear shock. A stock Y22 won't be nearly as nicely equipped.

If you really want a killer Y, you might get a bare frame from ebay ($200, give or take a few) and build it up.

Where did u get the "Natural Carbon frame" I'm debating whether 2 get a trek carbon y frame.
