    Thanks for the kind words. I didn't want to know the total but when you asked I decided to pull out the receipts. Total damage $3215 #-o

    Thanks. It's a Medium. I am 5'8" and before I decided on the frame size I did a lot of research on here and MTBR and everyone was saying Yetis run big on their sizing. I was very nervous thinking I might be better off getting the small but after riding the bike, it feels very natural for me and I am confident it is the proper size for me.

    Sweet Build :bang:
    Any opinions on the Easton XC wheelset? Strong? Stiff? Flexy?
    I have been considering the AM version for some time...

    Man, you have nearly 2 inches more travel than I do and about 4-5 lbs on me as well! Sweet bike!
