Looks great Lionel
I dont think there's any shame in having a trek nowadays.
Their mtb's used to be very average at best, but certainly get good reviews now, so must be doing something right.
Only thing is they seem to be a little under specced for the price, which swayed my decision to get a trance instead.
Curious, is the RF chainset 24mm or 30mm axle? Was under the impression Treks wouldnt take 30mm bearings/cups.
Ride the f*** out of it!

New Treks are PF92, so they can run the RF cranks without issue.
Bike looks great, Lionel!

If Trek had been a bit faster in putting Top Fuel 9.8s together, I might be riding a Trek instead of a Yeti.
Funny because I was in between this one and a Yeti 4.5C but these were not available before March.

Dropper seatposts are far and away the most unreliable part on modern mountain bikes.
Of course, people will give you shit if you don't use one, because you can't possibly ride technical terrain without one, or so they believe.
