Geek Fest 2007
And that's what Boups and I had last night building out his new Yeti CX frame. What made it even more geekdified was the near LIFE size projection TV on which he had the '06 Koksijde jamming in Surround Sound. Dope
. Boups had some fine Belgie Ales flowing and I dipped my toe into one but played saint.
The Yeti frame looks pretty nicely built. These are off-shored apparently but the quality looked pretty spot on.....which I'd expect for a Yeti. It looks like they are dialing in their cross game and the geometry and characteristics of the 
frame were clearly matured since their initial few frames FTW built (at least I think I heard FTW built the first few one-offs.)
The shouldering 'cut out' is now becoming in-vogue by frame manufacturers
(see Specialized, Scott and Salsa 08's ) and Yeti's is pronounced. I shouldered Boups' and it feels pretty good but the rider may feel the pronounced bevel if you use around the head tube porting styles. It feel pretty solid though.
Boups is going to rock this bike.
