Very purdy my man. The weight is gnarly too. Out of curioisity what was the final build cost? Now you just need to get it dirty....er muddy...I don't think there's much dirt left in them thar hills! Congrats again.
Very nice indeed. That havoc wheelset will serve you well. Whoops sorry, I´m sure those XCs are awsome too.
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...
Very light nice bike. I loved the Yeti 575 demo'ed one. It was either the Pivot Mach 5 or the Yeti 575 :?: I went with the Pivot
