Yeti 5 alloy in Ano Black. Just had the first shake down ride and am loving it. Rear wheel seems very 'planted' when climbing and it is very easy to pop the front wheel off stuff.

Bits to follow;
red floating Hope discs (just for the colour)
K Edge anti chain suck device
Fat Albert rear tyre
Forks to be dropped to 130mm

On the new 'rocky' downhillish section - excellent. My old ASR Yeti tended to plunge head first off everything. This seems much easier to manual.

Frame bought from [url= http://www.thebikechain.co.uk/ ]the bike chain[/url] with cracking service.

Shininess is a state of mind.

One of the nicest looking bikes I've seen on here.

Does anyone else see that sticker on the fork in Pic#1 and read it as "Not In Control"???
