Yeti 575 Carbon purchase... let the research begin

I've been looking for an all mountain bike to mess around on when I'm not riding my Ibis Mojo XC bike. Yeti's have always been one of my favorite brands so after doing alot of research I decided the Yeti 575 Carbon would be the way to go. Initially I'm going with the Yeti 575 Carbon "Enduro Build", and then I will upgrade parts when necessary. This bike is very tough to beat at $3199.

Checkout the parts list...

FRAME: Yeti Pure Tubeset and Aluminum Frame with 5.75" rear travel
SIZE: Medium
COLOR: Turquoise
FORK: Fox Vanilla 140 RL 140mm travel
SHOCK: Fox RP23
HEADSET: Cane Creek S-3
CRANK SET: Shimano Hone 44-32-22
HANDLEBAR: Easton Monkey Lite
STEM: Thomson X4
GRIPS: Yeti
WHEELSET: Mavic Crossride
TIRES: Maxxis Minion 2.35 ST
BRAKES: Avid Juicy 5 Disc
SADDLE: Yeti/SDG Ti FLy
SEAT POST: Thomson X4

At $3199 shipped, this bike seems like a great deal. I will be ordering mine from Jenson USA. Stay tuned for more updates as I get closer to making a purchase...
