thought i would share my new ride with you all.

Frame: Yeti ASR Carbon Large
Forks: Rox Shox Rebas (world cup with pop lock)
Bar: Race face SL flat
Stem: Syntace F99 Ti bolts & carbon top cap.
Headset: Chris King
Cranks: FSA Carbon 2x9
Cassette: Dura ace 12x27
Brakes: Avid juicy ultimate's 180mm rotors front & rear
shifters: XO Gripshifts
Front mech: Sram red
Rear mech: Sram XO with KCNC Ceramic jockey wheels.
Cables: Gore.
Chain: KCNC 9L
Saddle: Selle Italie SLR Carbon
Grips: Cheap foam ones from Halfords.
pedals: XTR
Cage: Tayx Carbon.
Wheels: stans Olympic rims, tune king & kong supershauf hubs, DT Aerolite spokes with alloy nipples.
Tyres: Shwalbe Racing Ralphs with no tubes latex
Skewers: Tune.
Bottle Cage: Tayx Tao Carbon


Weight on my old digital fishing scales is 22lb / 10kg including pedals & bottle cage.

Still a few little change left to do. I am going to change the cables for the Power cordz system & i am swapping the headset for a Chris King black one purely for cosmetic reasons & the brake cables need a little trimming.
A couple of things suprized me during this build.
1 how much lighter the old XTR rear mech was than the new XO one. Before i changed the jockey wheels the XTR was 16gms lighter than XO & both are medium cage.
2 How light the very cheapo foam grips from halfords were. I got a pack of 4 for £4.99 & i can get 2 grips from each one So thats 4 light wieght & IMO good grip sets for less than £5 (bargin)

I have got too say this is the best bike i have ever owned PERIOD!!!
I sold my 12.5 lb Cannondale Super 6 to fund this project & it was worth EVERY PENNY.

Apologies for the multiple XO pics (I'm crap at this!!!)

Hey, that is really nice.

I agree on the cheap foam grips. They are comfy as well as cheap. :D

it,s not a syntace top cap, just a carbon one i bought fro Posh Bikes a couple of years ago. I have used them for a while now on all my stems with no problems.
i also used one about 3/4 years age on my road bike when my left arm crank fell off my claviculas on my old Scott CR1 & the alloy cap that they came with broke. I told Andy aPosh Bikes how well it worked & looked, he did say he would have a look into making some & send me some. Still waitng :(
