Here she is! My first big bike! After having a couple months worth of problems with Go-Ride (I know, the exception, not the rule :rolleyes: ) it's ready to go. Had my first long ride on it today, the trails were perfect: damp and tacky, and I was railing it. Climbing was a bitch though, this bike is really gonna be incentive to get in shape. 38.5 lbs after tube/tire swap. I'm still getting the suspension tuned, but so far the bike is awesome.

VEEEERY NICE!

and to echo another comment, yeah, those are some very beefy 2.4 tires. use them alot now, on more than one bike. not full on DH pinchproof tires, but much beefier than normal XC tires. a nice in between. love them!

I thought the '05 was supposed to have bolt through dropouts? Was that just a rumor? I also notice you don't have the Easton tubing decal on the downtube near the dropout. Not that it really matters that much, Did Yeti stop using Easton tubing? I'm not a fan of the raw aluminum myself, unless it's some CNC'ed chunk of billet, but I have to admit that looks very nice.

Thanks people.

To answer some questions: it's a medium, no thru axle, and the tubeset is "pure tubes," whatever those are (no easton stickers). Damn work / school, I want to ride!
