Ordering my Yeti 575 frame and Fox Fork

This coming week I will finally be ordering my 575 frame... it will be a 2010 Yeti 575 in the team turquoise/white color scheme.

I haven't decided for sure which fork I will use, but have narrowed it down to one of the following....
- Fox 32 Talas
- Fox 32 Float

Stay tuned...

More thoughts on the Yeti 575

After doing some more research, I think I am going to switch things up a little bit. I'm still going with the Yeti 575 Carbon, but instead of the least expensive "Enduro Build", I think I'm going to step up to the "Race Build", primarily because of the Shimano XT components, Fox Float 140 RLC fork, and nicer DT wheelset. This is going to cost another $600, but from past experiences, I really like Shimano XT components, and I think the lighter/stronger DT wheelset and Fox fork will be a big plus as well.

Stay tuned as I get closer to making a purchase...

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.
