It's been three years since I built the Yeti that I always wanted so better late here than never, right? I bought the 06 frame in 09 at a price I could afford. It was unbuilt mint condition with the RP 23 shock that has since been Push-ed. All parts were new 09 and a 10 Fox F100. Being an old school kinda' guy I wanted an old school look avoiding as much as possible black parts that seem to still be the rage. I was able to do this with the only exception of matching Easton EC 90 SL handlebar and bar ends. My reasoning being that they were a good counter balance to the black carbon chain stays. It was down to red or polished parts and I decided that the red would detract from the beauty of the frame so I searched for all polished alloy parts some of which were hard to find. Here's the build: All XT 3x9 drivetrain SLX 36 cassette for climbing walls Mavic 717 rims drilled for indestructible Schraeder valve stems Chris King hubs and headset Thomson stem and seatpost NOS old school featherweight foam grips Salsa skewers and seat clamp 13 XTR Race brakes and ice tech rotors (recent addition) WTB Pure V ti rails saddle (another recent addition)
