This is overly geeky, I agree, but I want to keep an easily accessible record of all the components on the bike, so what's better than throwing it on the web? I'll put a picture from the bike's maiden ride to make up (the Yeti on the Black Mountain).
First ride impressions:
Downhill=unbelievable fun; suspension soaks up almost everything (except small harsh bumps perhaps)
Uphill=not as fast and snappy as my singlespeed, but almost on par with my 2001 Giant NRS (though it feels a little heavier than the latter, which shouldn't come as a surprise with the NRS being a XC race bike); interesting is that climbing up short, steep technical sections goes really well - the suspension gives more traction on these.
Cornering / twisty singletrack: almost as good as sex!
