The Conclusion of the Yeti Hunt

Hunted the SB115 to the SB150 and back, found a match on Pinkbike and made a deal! For the build, the fast and most efficient start was to move the parts from the Intense 951 to the new-old frameset. A new 210mm 30.9 One Up was the only "new" part required. Well, also needed a bottom bracket, thanks to JN for the bearing press and pro inspiration for the Hunt...

Only the seatpost didn't fit...

Press fit BB getting Pressed In

Intense parts fit down to the quick-link...

Maiden ride, the commute...

Double Minion, Meta HT Fenders and The Beast Flask

 Its been a long wet month in Cali, but the combination of time and desperation finally got me out onto the dirt last week and twice over the weekend.

With MTB comes maintenance, and after a Santa Creme run on Saturday and followup cleaning, I finally got the new Minion on the front and the front onto the rear - Double Minioned! Can't wait to try it. The 5mm cut off each end of the handlebars has been noticed, and the deeper handlebars also are letting those steep climbs sneak up again!

Double Minions Fitted, Ti Boltage, Drop Bar-age

Z's bike, the Meta HT, has been fitted with the front Mug Hugger for the winter as the goto wet-bike. Its been great, a bit under-tired up front (crash on Sido extension but I had pads)

The 800mm drop bars make this bike
