Well I've been drooling over the idea of a new mountain bike for a while now, and decided it was finally time. After my first ride today, I'm totally glad I did. The new Yeti 575 will take me on all the epic rides that I'm sure to find this spring/summer. It was a joy to ride up hill, and sooo much fun coming back down. Good times. Here's the skinny:

Small black ano 575
Race-disc build kit + upgrades.
Fox Talas RLC fork
Sram XO rear der.
XT front der.
Sram X9 shifters
Avid Juicy 5 brakes
Fox RP3 shock
Green Chris King headset
Thompson elite seatpost/stem
DT Swiss 540 wheels
DT Swiss OEM hubs
Maxis Minion tires (switching these out soon).
Race Face Deus crankset
Race Face Next carbon handlebar

Here she is clean.
