So, after the awesome write-up by Instigator and my recent rash of bike acquisitions I had to be selfless and buy Squirrel a new XC racer...a little thing called "bling"
:drool: Bling...
- Thread starter TreeSaw
- Start date
The rear shock....
Front view...
Bars...
Cranks...
Side view...
Already upgrading...
Why is it still clean?! :angry:
:devil: Actually, he's been drooling over it...I mean putting on his old pedals, cabling up his old rear derailleur & putting on his old shifters for a ride either tomorrow night or Wednesday. He actually found the perfect sized stem for it too...and stole it off one of my bikes!!!!
That thing is PIMPIN!! NIce!!
How come the fox shock and not the 5th though? I thought the Fifth was standard on the Yetis?
Dayum those bikes are sooooo nice!!

I like youR Bling Bling YETI.
I always like gold.

Complete 575's from Yeti have the Fox pro pedal on them. Frame only comes standard with the 5th. If you order a complete bike you need to ask for the 5th and pay an upcharge.Originally posted by MMcG

NICE!! Man, those 575's sure are purdy.
NICE!
dang, everyone is getting new bikes except me

Nice ride! They are incredible bikes for sure, and the bling is very sharp. I saw Victor's at the shop last week, very nice indeed.
Here i was expecting another Blur....
man am i behind the times....

very nice.
It is quite upsetting actually. I have found myself getting jealous that all these folks are getting new bikes. So to counter that I sold my road bike (don't worry she is going to a good home...) and with the money I am buying a new bike. I could have used that money to pay some bills but with the continued "bling" posts I am forced to buy a new bike. You folks have forced my hand, thanks:angry:.Originally posted by douglas

I have decided to build up one of Instigators cast offs into a Erbon Hardtail. I am going use it to commute to work with instead of destroying my road bike. All the parts have been ordered and are on the way.
I won't be posting pics of it here to be sensitive to those that can't go out and buy new bikes. Thanks again everybody for forcing me to have to buy a new bike. I will always remember how you guys forced me into this awkward position......jdcamb
Mmm.. Bling.
You should have a set of gold CK hubs, a gold CK headset, gold Protapers, a gold Hope seatpost clamp, a set of gold Truvativ team-issue cranks... Did I miss anything?
Looks sweet!

I thought so too, but evidently it comes with the FOX and the 5th is an upgrade or something like that. Basically he bought the kit and swapped out a few things at the shop. He really likes it so far, but he's really only been riding it around inside of the houseOriginally posted by MMcG

And Fork & Frame hose guides, also in gold.
Nice! Of course, you filed half way through one of the chain links, like we talked about, right?
That is the dilemma...maybe I can weight him down with lead or something? :devil:Originally posted by stuntmatty

That is the first 575 I've seen with a fox instead of a 5th.
Damn sweet bikey!
What size is that one? Large?
I thought you already had a couple of FS Konas at home Rip?
Yes, and it's a medium!
Sweet bling I wish I new you guy's were going to be at Trailblazers I would have stopped down.
