Yeti Lives Again

I received a call from my local bike shop on Friday afternoon. They had just gotten the 2008 Yeti 575 replacement frame from Yeti Cycles. I rushed over to pick it up. I immediately had the bike shop press in the headset cups, and then I spent Friday night and Saturday morning building it up.



I pressed in new sealed bearings in all the pivots and installed new shifter housing and cables. It's practically a new bike.



I knew this would be hard, but before I ride it and scratch anything, I'm going to sell it. I may ride it on some bridal trails just to make sure it shifts and brakes well. Otherwise, I'll sell it while it's still pristine. She sure is pretty, though...

Looks great!! you really need to ride though. Looks are one thing - riding is something else . . . .

What is the build?
