It drives now but I still need to get safety done on it, should be road legal in about a week or so.

More photos when I get it home (I'm at the 'rents for break right now) and make the changes I want on it.

what it will have on it:
KCNC prolite seatpost
X.0 gripshift
med cage rear derailleur
middleburn rs8 duo cranks (for 2x9)
rictchey wcs overside bar
King/Stans Olympic wheels
Craptastic midgit SID for '08 SID WC (actually adds weight, but removes death-flex)

Sits at 21.4lbs as is. Just the wheels/tires drops it down to 20.2. Should be under 19 after everything else is swapped.

So you went from a full suspension 29er to a hardtail 26er. How come?

Yes, the hood is not latched. I don't need to hear it.


Nice V7 wheels, what are the current mods and or plans for it?

I have an 02 with a few mods.

Currently it has a Tanabe cat-back system, COBB intake, and short throw shifter. Won't be long till it gets full turbo-back, COBB access port, t4, STi intercooler, and a 40shot Zex kit.

Me? No I went 26 FS to 26 HT. Yeti ASR carbon to the Alma. Why? Because hardtails are faster for me.
I was thinking about the Alma 29er, but rode a couple friends 29ers for a few weeks and even though I really like some things about them, I absolutely hated them for downhills and quick, techy riding. The rear wheel was the problem for me - I couldn't kick it around like I wanted to. I want to try a 69er for that reason :)

Your orbea is damn swish. Got a pic or two of the Yeti? Ive always liked yeti's. They seem to have a bike for every purpose.

Oh, okay, for some reason I thought you had one of those Niners. I'm also curious to try one of Trek's 69ers now that they've expanded the lineup.

Thanks, I like it. Once I make all the changes I'll go take some decent photos.

Here's my old Yeti:

Here is my '07 stumpy Elite. Finally back riding trails but tonight and tomorrow we are looking
at 12 inches of the white stuff. Alot of upgrades so far: I9 wheelset, new candy SL, Nokian studs,
Handlebar and stem, blah blah blah. I really like this bike alot for all around type of riding.
