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...
