New Steed

[dicko]

Ohno Mojo beat me to it yesterday, but thought i'd fire up a few shots of my new bike. Got her built up on Monday night (big thanks to big ray) when it finally came through customs etc and arrived on Monday morning. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Now if it this monsoon would only stop, I might be able to get some riding shots.

Might have went a little overboard with pictures, but why the heck not! She is gorgeous afterall...

Damn right, the more pics the better. Lovely bike indeed Dicko, like the colour scheme alot. Health to ride it sir ;-)

[royzer]

6/10. Could do better! Haha! Looking forward to following it down the hill! P.I.M.P.

[tinkerhil]

Lovely bike indeed , now if I didnt have 4 kids running around I could have something like that myself.
Health to enjoy :)

Taking bets on the horse being sold and a yeti bought within the month.....

[honourablegeorge]

Lovely bike.

Is it a smaller size than the other man's Yeti? Looks a much longer wheelbase, and a shade slacker?

[dicko]

Mine's a medium, and the head angle is adjustable via a wee concentric shock mount. Mine is in the low mount so is sitting at just around 64 degrees (iphone angle finder is telling me that its a little slacker) and i have no idea about the wheelbase.
Could just be the angle of the photo too i suppose.

[honourablegeorge]

Larger size, I meant to say. Yours looks more "right" to me... maybe just the pic, yeah.

[MartyMcFly]

I thought the set up on the black one was a bit strange myself, very tall at the front etc..

This one looks dialled !!
Love the colour, much nicer than the black
Health to ride :)

Young Suzie claimed he built it for you, i knew myself he wouldn't of been capable.

Very nice build mate, did you get the frame and forks from the states? I was thinking of doing the same with my new one but haven't really heard of many guys doing it. ENJOY :D

I thought that myself, it just looked awkward.

[downhilldude]

Very nice ! I am thinking of doing the same thing, going to bring a frame and forks in from the states next year for my race bike. Or I might just buy that nice commi supreme dh from steve :D

[GpAevo]

Very nice buddy, health to enjoy. Meant to ride very well;)

[monty]

Flip me! You guys know how to make us other ones feel left out! Everyone seems to be getting a new bike these days!.. and damn, they're all beautiful!
Oh to have a couple of grand taking up space somewhere!

[Firetrail]

One day monty... one day! start the scobing down at centra in da mornin again, like old times :D you got a "rear mech" out of it last time :P

[PeteMcD]

Ha! I think Suzie might have put the stem on, but that's about it.
I brought the frame in from the states and I got the forks from OC Tuning on a great deal.
Its generally not too bad. Postage was a bit of a pain in the ass as the rear triangle and shock shipped on time but the front triangle didn't arrive until about 10 days later for no apparent reason. Customs & VAT didn't work out too bad either. Definitely worked out a lot cheaper than it would have been to buy and build it with bits bought here.

Yeah, very steep and short wheelbase.

I put it down to me being jealous, until I saw this one.

[rochey]

Lovely looking mate, health to ride man!
