Just thought i'd join the site since i own a yeti DJ Bike]
Unsure on what year the frame is to be honest im guessing 2005 since its got the ISCG mounts intregrated into the frame!
Anyway since i got it ive had a few builds going on but ive finally settled down to one i cant get enough of!
I started out as a very cheap build up
Using my old wheels which where alex rims and shimano hubs!
along with nasty nasty hope Mini Mono's and some bodged together 130mm DJ3 come Z1 drop off ETA forks!
a tiagra mech on the back and single ring, no chain guide on the front!
I then went and gave it a make over.
I got rid of the forks in favour of some special silver argyle 318 forks, some new mavic ex721 rims with a hope pro2 on the front and dmr revolver on the back, and new shimano XT brakes.
This was a great build but i found myself using the bike for xc routes with techniqual black runs, so new gearing was in order, so i put on a 22/32 bash setup with a front mech
The forks however where also proving useless for this sort of riding, far to hard and nowhere near enough travel so i went and swapped those for some 2006 Fox 36 Talas RC2's, ive also now stuck a XT mech on the back.
So this is how it looks now
Im mighty impressed with this though ive got to say, first proper ride out was last weekend and it was awsome, makes the black routes so much better, and it climbs well too.
Weighs about 33.5lbs but im planning on making a few small changes to get that nearer the 30 mark!
What you guys think then?
