That's a great bike, with a great spec. Bet it's pretty quick as well.

Smashing bike you've got there mate, it might just be the angle of your pics but your bars look like they point down a bit?

Lovely bike. 8) I like Yeti. A few of my friends are riding them and say nothing but great things about them.
As Bred2shred said your bars look abit down. Not think about Riser bars for this kind of bike?

Had mine now for 6 months and I still have a huge smile on my face everytime I ride it. Such a fantastic bit of kit.

If I had one piece of advice it'd be to put some helicoptor tape on the rear stays as they do scratch quite easily.

Cheers for the comments guys.
The bars are EA70 low risers - they have since been adjusted so they are more as aesthetically pleasing in photographs! That was the very first spin out on her and I had tightened the bars properly. :oops:

She is very fast everywhere and I am really pleased.

Thanks for the tip Ashley. The shop had taped up parts of the frame (you can see it in the second and fourth photographs) but strangely the rear triangle isn’t taped. Where exactly do you recommend I tape up.

Thanks,
D.

I'd put some tape on the outside of the lower and upper arms of the rear triangle to eliminate any heel rub from your shoes and general knocks.

I frickin' love the look of these...been drooling over their webby for a while and planning on going and rubbin' myself up against one soon

Good looking bike. How does the Ti Spoon compare to the normal one for ride comfort? Is it much different?

You've certainly got a lot of boutique parts on it. Was it custom built?

Pretty impressive. XTR groupset with Chris King Hubs. Definitely havent scrimped on the components.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys; after dropping this amount of cash I need all the reassurance I can get! Loving the bike so far.

Dan – I don’t think there is much difference in the Ti and normal spoon. The seat is v comfy to the point I haven’t noticed it at all!
