Summer? Bring on the Autumn!

Because (drum roll please), I have just availed myself of this little beauty. A super turquoise Yeti ARC-X cross frame. (cymbal crash now)See how it lays there on my kitchen floor in its little bubbly white jackets! You cannot see the lovely head badge but I feel that the seat tube emblem says all that needs to be said for those that know about Yeti Cycles.

I've never owned a Yeti mountain bike but when I saw - at Eurobike a couple of years back- the company made a cross frame, I knew one day it would be mine. I haven't decided on full spec yet (plenty of time!) but I feel that it is fitting that a certain amount of Easton components should be in place. Hence I have the very light and spangly Easton carbon cross fork that cost mucho dinero.

I already own Easton bars so I will replace the existing cheapo stem with an Easton item too when the times comes.
Inkeeping with all things Yeti, this little bundle of aluminium reliableness will be duly fitted.

I am keeping the Mavic Krysium wheels that i used on my old -and now with a new owner-Kinesis - especially after reading this article . Then, I may even use one pair of shoes just for this build, purely because of these! We'll see. Braking is not a contest. I shall have these, maybe not the mags, but a variety of TRP. Let the warm days roll in for the fat tyres and the autumn build commence..........
