That's really nice. (and far too clean...). My only comment would be to see if you can get the Hope Hoop rim stickers done in the Yeti blue. The green clashes sooo much...

Very nice. How much has that set you back, if you don't mind me asking?

Very nice - looking at those pictures was like bike porn lol!

£2500 Spent months finding cheapest parts online.

Would have been over 5k Retail

My only thought other than very nice is maybe a bit to light wieght of a set up to what can be a very aggressive trail machine.

Sweet! Another Yeti owner! Nice bike!

Needs some tyres more befitting the rest of the spec, and my eyes are offended you left the PDM858s on there, those were death traps!

Looks good though!

"My only thought other than very nice is maybe a bit to light wieght of a set up to what can be a very aggressive trail machine."

It's not exactly a super light build, sensibly specced, I think it's spot on for what that frame was intended, it'll still be an excellent trail bike!

Lovely looking bike with some great parts.

Are you afraid to get it mucky?
How heavy is it?

Umm, there's a big hole in the middle of the top tube


Seriously though, super nice build, I don't think there is anything wrong with the tyres, especially with all the mud that's probably everywhere.

njee20 - lol the tyres and padals are gone. I've got racing ralphs and M980 pedals.

mikeyj28 - I only finished build it the other day, so hopefully be out on it tomorrow or sunday.

The weight comes in at just over 22lbs

ah one of my pet hates, all mtb manufacturers seem to ram spacers under the stem, WHYYYYYYYYY?
please stop doing it people want to actually be able to weight the front end and steer it with some grip!
nice looking bike tho :P

Aye, thats some strange tubing configuration, along with those Scalpel-like skinny as stays... not like I doubt Yeti's frame designing prowess or anything (what the hell do I do?!).

Nice ride though man.

Very nice build indeed, kudos to you my friend.

MountainMonster

Lovely looking bike! The build seems to be a very respectable weight as well, which is good. Wish my bike weighed in at that!

alexgomy

Cheers for all the kind words. I'm well happy with it. Just want to get the thing muddy now.
