Wow, I would love to sell these. I have been on the site and sent e-mails to the people who run the company (nice people) but they are pretty dialed into the internet only sales thing. I think Supergo also sells them. If I had these I could kick butt with them. These guys offer fit options not available anywhere else (such as this new bike). These are nice. I wish I could sell them (so I could have one too...).

Call up Ves. Tell him: "Come on. I'm a buddy of Dan's. I give great, free fittings to everyone who wants to buy a bike from me. People will love Yaqui if you only let me show them to the world! Please..."

From what I read it isn't a road bike geometry but rather 76 degrees instead of 78 to make it ICU legal. A very nice option.

Yaqui's rock. I got the Carbo last year after much research and couldn't be happier. To get a custom fit from Ves was one of the main reasons I went with Yaqui. Believe it or not this aluminum bike is more comfortable than my Ti Litespeed Vortex with curved rear stays. I have to force myself to take out the Vortex once in a while so it gets some use. btw Ves can make any of his bikes for you in a 76 degree seat tube if you need to be UCI legal.

Ves makes great bikes. I bought the Carbo last year. Custom fit. Absolutely love the bike. So much so, I had another Yaqui made for my wife. She's only 5'2" and has always had trouble finding a decent bike. Ves built her a custom w/ 650 wheels that fits like a glove.

look over in classifieds. i've got a new mariola for sale, never been built up (the used one just got sold). i personally ride a carbo, very happy with it. i've got another one coming, experimental geometry, which we'll write about once i get some miles under it.

I think I already know the answer to this question but, anyone know why Yaqui prefers to not sell to a few qualified local triathlon stores?

FYI: I sent an e-mail to Ves at Yaqui asking about selling their bikes and he was kind enough to send me a nice reply very quickly. Everything I've heard from people who have dealt with them has been very positive. I'll keep you guys posted.
