Here is my 575 in blue.
Task was build my own bike that can handle all usage (I'm not headless downhill guy:), lightweight but with enough travel for some fun. So there was no other choice than 575. I was in doubt about carbon inserts in rear triangle, but thanks to yetifan I decided to buy one. Because there are lots of very happy users. It was great decision!
Now I'm enjoying a riding like never before. I'm fan of yeti since I was 17teen - in 1997 was World Cup in Spindleruv Mlyn and there I met nice 4-inch lawwill in team colors. I was interested in this rear suspension solution, but as an student a cannot afford such bike.
I live in Czech Republic (central europe) so I had several problems to get 575 frame. Nearly every internet shop has problem with my location or postage cost so high as for central africa and not europe:) Maybe they think that we are savages with spears and guns. Hi hi.
So I took a car and as an savage drove nearly 1000km for 575 to Germany....easy solution. I had to make hard decision white frame with carbon chainstay or nicely anodized black one in aluminium. I'm conservative so I took black one.
Anodization is nice protection against corrosion - so brain win, but heart still call for white carbon beauty:)) So thats it....I become yetimaniac. I clean
it and here it is.
Bike setup: Fox Van RLC, all blue is Hope: mono M4 brakes, hubs, stem, headset, skewers..., rest is shimano XT with classic XTR front derailleur
and cables. ODI grips, Gobi seat, easton Monkey lite XC handlebars and EA 50 seatpost, pedals are Time SX, rims are Mavic 717 with DT swiss. On ground holds me Schwalbe nobby nic. Total 12.2kg.
Best regards Lukas
