For anyone whose interested, lots of pics guaranteed
I bought this frame mainly to use at college, and have never owned nor ridden or DJ/4X oriented bike before. I thought it would be a nice addition and help me improve my skills.
I got the yeti since they're made in CO and the paint looks rad. Note that I ordered this in 2009 and thought I was getting the teal/white frame but they sent me one with the 2008 paint job (which I like more ).
Frame is the short size (I'm 5'11", long legs and arms but short torso).
Anyway, a photo of the frame:
Only gripe about it so far is that the ISCG mount is tacked on, just seems kinda lazy to not fully weld the mount on:
This is all I have for now. Parts will be arriving this week and next. The planned build:
Frame: Yeti DJ short
Fork: Lowered 2009 Fox 36 Float R (to 100mm)
Headset: Cane Creek 110
Stem: Thomson
Bar: Sunline V1
Shifter: Saint
Brakes: Formula K18
Post: Thomson
Crank: Shimano Saint
Derailleur: Shimano saint
Chainguide: MRP G2 mini
Chainring: E13 36t
Cassette: Saint/SLX 11-32
Saddle: WTB Pure V
Wheelset: I have some crummy wheels from a bike that was ran over by yours truly, front will be a WTB dual duty FR and rear is a XT hub laced to XC717 rims
front:
rear:
Undecided on tires right now, looking at kenda small block 8's or some maxxis (crossmark/high roller or maybe larsen tt's)
More photos to come once the stuff arrives!
