I would go for black and then repeat the frame/fork color with ODI grips in turquoise/white ones, at a very good price at the Yetifan store :-) Black is a neutral color and easier to resell if needed...hope that helps. Remember it's your bike and you have to live with it.
Thanks for the headset info :-)

Matching grips are a nice touch;)
Got some limited yetifan.com etched lock ons coming soon. Only 25 sets made by odi!!
Your bike spec so far is pretty sweet. Black bars are timeless and classy IMO.

Looking good so far!
The turq grips are in the store.
I've not fixed the new price, so they are a bit cheap at the moment.
Keep us updated with your bike!

2x 10 is brilliant, I really like it.
Just get the 36 cassette if you live anywhere with steep hills.

Nice build!
As for the mud clearance, if its that muddy you should be on thinner tyres anyway.
That fin brace does not really cause any problems, works well.

Cheers Andrew, I'm going to order a conti mountain king 2.2 in the morning my friend runs them and he says it a smaller profile tyre, so we'll see how that goes, might just keep the rear rubber queen for the front.
