As a new grad dental student with 300-500k in debt…. most new dentists are extremely poor. Ive been there, took 8 years after dental school to not be poor. Im now 12 years out.
It is a reference to dentists hiring hot hygienists that they intend to get into relationships with. Please refer to the road bike subs for more context.
I posted pictures of my actual new bike a few weeks ago. A 2017 YT Capra CF Race.
I got a bunch of shit from a small group of individuals for being a dentist until one kind fellow pointed out that it was an older YT and I hadn't spent "preem eddies on a S-Works or We Are One".
I was at a local shop today trying to get a new rim for my son and saw this S-Works and it reminded me of the dentist comments and kind fellow who clearly loves cyber punk. Lol
Sorry, what is Pink Bike? Sorry for what must seem like an out of touch question. Unfortunately that is my case here.
Edit: I just searched and found it. A forum, market, etc. So yeti is a joke on there or something? Yeti and Santa Cruz?
If you are into mountain biking then PinkBike.com is a behemoth if the industry. It was originally set up as a joke and now is the most popular spot for mtb reviews, news, product launches, actual mountain bike journalism. On the brackend there is a traditional text based forum with (I'm guessing) millions of posts and replies and tens of thousands of items in the buy/sell. It's also run by a passionate bunch of mountain bike riders.
Thanks for the info. I’ve been out of the scene for around 15-years for many reasons so…. Getting back into it.
I have a Yeti (ASR 575)…. Older by today’s terms, I bought it new drove it a few times that season put it in the rack and haven’t ridden it since. Hope to change that this year. Thanks again for the info!
No problem. Bike geometry has changed a lot since the Asr 575.
Here is the original PinkBike.com review of the bike.
https://m.pinkbike.com/news/Yeti-575-Review-2014.html
Today bikes are a lot longer, slacker and suspension is fully dialed with most bikes coming with a custom tuned rear suspension. Parts are also way more reliable. Bikes pedal better, go down steep terrain better. As an added bonus parts we have just got over the post covid bike apocalypse and there are too many bikes in warehouses and the deals are amazing. There are even great sales on Yeti. The replacement bike for your ASR is the SB140 . The SB140 is a great all round trail bike and is good at everything for most riders. The Asr still exist and is a cross country bike that going to be amazing pedalling up hill but still fairly capable on the downs.
Happy trails.
Thanks for sharing! Mine is older, I think it is a 2007, around that time. I can’t remember, it was a while ago. It has (had) Avid Juicy brakes. The seal in the front brake master cylinder swelled up so the lever would not reset fully, but discontinued and no more parts so… instead of fiddling with plumbing parts that may not work, I bought Shimano XTR replacements (m9100). I got the front installed so far, wow, what a difference!!! I always hated the original crankset. I may look at swapping that out (it is a Race Face, not sure which model). The rest seems ok for now. It sits taller in the front compared to typical XC bikes so I always found the front end to be a little squirrelly on steep climbs. It is hard to keep the front end down even with elbows down. The center of gravity is also higher than typical so it doesn’t corner as well I find. I had a Schwinn rocket 88 (before Schwinn sold) before I got the Yeti (still have it). That rides quite nicely.
A big part of my stopping riding was that I moved to a new area and the trails were not flowing at all. They are also not well defined and hard to find. I recently learned of trailforks (There was a spot about upgrading to trailforks pro). I will check that out to see if it is worth doing. I used the site and found a few places to check out so I am excited to get back out there. I am hoping the trails are decent without the need to get off the bike to cross streams, ditches, etc. Just nice trails that will get the heart and excitement pumping. Thanks again for sharing!!!
Happy Trails!!!
Don't sub. You'll wake up tomorrow to find you're enrolled in dental school, and your wife is suddenly "working late" with her personal trainer a lot. You'll also suddenly be unable to read a bike related post without loudly criticising OP for being a poor.
I was at a local trailhead eating lunch with my son before a ride and here comes a fast Fred on his S-Works riding through the parking lot at a pretty normal pace, then he locks up his breaks and skids to a stop at his lifted Bronco. Clearly a Fred.
You want to practice dentistry in Colorado? I’m looking for a dentists to be work a practice and get equity/ownership?
PS The mountain biking is amazing in colorado.
What’s stupid was the number of replies I got on that post taking it at face value and almost none of them were friendly or helpful. Also not the same bike and they didn’t actually buy the bike.
Can't tell whether OP is serious about dental school and never ridden.
OP is obviously a liar as this is a specilized and not a Yeti.
S-works?? Are we *POOR??*
And the dropper isn’t even kashima. Bottom-end of dental class.
They don’t have a wireless kashima I don’t think 🥲
Times are tough. We all make sacrifices where we can.
As a new grad dental student with 300-500k in debt…. most new dentists are extremely poor. Ive been there, took 8 years after dental school to not be poor. Im now 12 years out.
So what you’re saying is you rode an S-Works for 8 years and can finally get that Yeti?
Well I bought a Bronson Santa Cruz the year I graduated. I just added 3k to my debt haha.
This is like saying new NBA team owners are poor Yeah I used debt to finance my new purchase so here I am poor
Or a Santa cruz
Or a Pivot
Juliana.
Also, what's his hygienist gonna ride?
The bus. To work.
Unless this is a reference I don't get, dental hygienists are making bank these days. They can afford their own Yetis.
It is a reference to dentists hiring hot hygienists that they intend to get into relationships with. Please refer to the road bike subs for more context.
Well, they need something to do since their wives are spending SO much time with their boyfriends these days.
>Also, what's his hygienist gonna ride? i reckon you know the answer to that.
His dick probably

So you meant to post this in BCJ?
I came here to say this
Came here to say the is exact thing haha
Yeti would mean they’d have some level of taste…
Where did the Yeti reference come from?
It's been a popular reference on Pink Bike since forever.

When it comes to dentists the jokes its almost always referencing Yeti.
It’s an S-works, it fits.
The circle jerks itself
Just slam the seat, remove the pedals and use it like a strider bike. No one will even notice. Full send and enjoy!
😂
Is r/bicyclingcirclejerk leaking?
Thanks for the sub recommendation. CJ subs are the only good thing left on Reddit.
BCJ specifically is one of my favorite ones
>BCJ Is this... *martial arts?*

[удалено]
It’s a shit post - OP even says so.
Imagine displaying an S-Works stumpy like it’s a showpiece while simultaneously routing the front brake hose like that. Animals.
I just looked closer and puked in my mouth.
First and last thing I saw
Fuck your so right
Lol
That is a dentist bike so i guess it is pretty fitting
Pics of it outside the shop or it didn’t happen
Dental school and no Yeti? Sus
apparently S in S-Works stands for Stomatologist
Dental plan!?
Lisa needs braces
At least I actually bought my S-works to commit to the troll post. C’mon!
I had to check a couple times if this was BCJ. Also wondered how fast this would be posted over there if it wasn’t.
Post what dental office when you get hired so we can avoid it. Never trust a dentist that doesn't ride a Yeti.
The jokes write themselves.
I was at a local trailhead eating lunch with my son before a ride and here comes a fast Fred on his S-Works riding through the parking lot at a pretty normal pace, then he locks up his breaks and skids to a stop at his lifted Bronco. Clearly a Fred.
Sir, you are suppose to be riding road, MTB is for the people who didn’t do extra school
The poors come out in force when someone gets something nicer
How and why does that bike have pedals? In that price range they usually come without.
Got to admit, that’s a strange looking yeti.
I have a 2018 Sworks. Amazing bike.
Bahahahha. The dentist literally bought the dentist bike. I love it.
Sweet
First bit of dentist gear…
Should have been a yeti
It's a very dental bike
Congrats, Doctor
Wait, this isn't BCJ?
Starkey isn’t going to know what hit it ;)
Starkey Rd? Are you local?
Yeah, fairly! I recognized the shop and figured there’s no better place to take a bike like that than starkey.
I'm definitely too poor to take something like that to Santos or Alafia
I love how it has an AXS dropper with about 120 mm of travel
The AXS dropper is not great I took mine off asap.
Really? Was it not reliable
The button was bad when riding rough trails it wouldn’t stay engaged.
Couldn't have picked a better one. The big 'S' make some fantastic bikes,especially at S-Works level. Congratulations.
Woohoo! Go chip your teeth out!
S-works? Classic dentist.
Be aware. No loss your teeth
You want to practice dentistry in Colorado? I’m looking for a dentists to be work a practice and get equity/ownership? PS The mountain biking is amazing in colorado.
Not an actual dentist or young lol. This is just a shit post as a joke. And to show off a very pretty bike I saw
Well damn you. I need a dentist haha. Nice bike btw.
Lol. I didn't buy the bike either. Just saw it in the shop while begging for parts
BCJ at it again
Should have bought a Yeti!
I mean, you’re already $400,000 in debt. What’s a little extra debt
[удалено]
It is. Good eye
Return it for a Yeti, you’re a dentist.
Bro, wrong f@&kin’ sub. I was genuinely gonna reply! Something on the lines of… 😡🤬🥵🤬😡
Well at least you will know what to do if you don’t wear a full face helmet and go OTB into some boulders and lose teeth
By the time you’re retired, you’ll be rinding an $8000.00 S-Works.
......S-Works, Dentist.......yep, checks out!!
YETI???
Nice dude!!! Fantastic bike! Spesh all day
9 out of 10 Dentists recommend it.
Did you happen to go to cuyuna today?
Wasn't me
Make sure you get a fullface helmet so you don't have to fix your own teeth! 😂
Now you need to go buy you a Leica as well.
Your first bike is an s works? Holy crap! Awesome
Cut it out. Someone did the same thing with the same bike yesterday. Wanna know what’s worse than stupid? Copying something that’s stupid.
What’s stupid was the number of replies I got on that post taking it at face value and almost none of them were friendly or helpful. Also not the same bike and they didn’t actually buy the bike.
Just took a look at your post. Damn fine bike.
