After more than three months of waiting for bits to arrive, I've finally finished building my new ('07) Yeti 575...

    Thanks.

    The frame is the old model, so I bought it for £850.

    The fork was £200 from eBay US.

    Everything else for a net cost of around £350 from a bike I purchased on the cycle to work scheme.

    I was originally looking for a secondhand Reign frame for about £300 or £400 to put the C2W kit on - but then I saw this the Yeti and temptation got the better of me.
