Welcome to the club mate! http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=12847845&hilit=575

Think you've got the only other Turquoise one i've seen in the Your Mountain Bikes part of the forums, looking very nice so far fella, how are you finding it so far? If you haven't already done so, i'd advise getting yourself onto Yetifan.com, a cracking bunch on there that have been really helpful at answering specific questions etc.

Looking forward to any update etc

Cheers bud!

Howdy,

Cheers for the comments, the Turquoise Yeti has always been my favorite colour, yours is looking top notch.

Have got Elixir CR carbon brakes with Goodridge cables coming and will be installing Goodridge gear cables for the XT shifters, also thinking of picking up a set of Supertsar Ultra Mag pedals in Black to replace the grey V8's currently on her, and that should more or less complete the build.

Will upload pics when all complete.

No worries fella, and cheers, i'm happy with it so far.

Sounds like some good additions there, never been too sure about Avids, i had a set of Juicy's years ago but have ignored them since...guess its coz i'm a tart and like flash looking kit

as i know they're always reviewed very highly. I've got a mate that runs the Superstars and he loves them...don't think you can go wrong for the price mate.

Looking forward to seeing the completed build

Dream Bike. That is all i have to say on the matter.

Cheers for the comments gents.

It is now finished..!

attached a few pics from having taken it for a blast round my local trail:

Have added Goodridge Braided hoses to Elixir CR Carbon brakes, 160mm rear and 185mm front discs also Goodridge white gear cables.

The pedals I thought long and hard about, in the end wanted something different from Superstar Mags so went for Deity Decoy LT Mag pedals, come in at 344grams, nice, wide, grippy and kinda match the brakes

Came in at more than I budgeted but dosent it always :roll: anyway very happy with it.
