I do have two questions. Are the Yeti grips lock ons? Is that a U-Turn Reba Team or the standard one and what do you have the travel set at? I am thinking of putting a Reba on the YBB and putting the SID Team on my Zaskar to upgrade from the Judy XC that is on it right now.

That is a lot of blue. Very nice. (check your PMs) The grips are Yeti Speed Grips, the non-locking old style. The fork is a Reba Race, 100 mm w/ lockout. I wanted this frame to have have more fork options, so I had Kent design it for a 100 mm fork. I considered a SID, but went for the Reba for durability. I've blown out a couple of SIDs on my M2, and didn't want to work about it on the new bike. Compared to the SID, the Reba is stiffer and more plush. The obvious drawback of the Reba is the weight. The new '09 SID has larger 32 mm uppers, so it may ride more like the Reba. I also considered a Fox F100. FWIW, the F100 has blue decals...
