  • The Yeti is just gorgeous. It was near the top of my list, but I never got to demo it.

    I ended up w/ Ibis Mojo 3 ... 27.5 x 2.8 ... Love this thing, first non-aluminum, non-steel bike I've ever owned and only the second "new" bike I ever bought (first being steel Jamis Explorer MTB in 1995).

    Build ... pretty much stock, with the Ibis carbon wheels. Pure. Joy. Them's the Tetons in the background.

    That's an amazing ride and it must be incredibly fast. How do you like the di2?
