Eh, why not? Here's the other one. Gets on the same trails as the other bike, and has done well at a couple lift areas before I got the big bike going. I think it's capable of everything (nearly) that the rubber bullit is, it's only the rider that is holding it back!
The Descender post is a new thing; I'm digging it so far. No urge at all for the bar mount version, as I dislike more crap on my bars.

Yep, comparable parts/build to the big bike. This way I can swipe a part from one to the other if needed. Keeping spare brake pads and other parts around is nice and easy too, when everything is compatable.

I am not dissing your bike, it is a hell of alot nicer than mine, but the Yeti 575's look pretty weak as far as top tubes goes. I'm sure it is a great trail bike, but I really don't see it being a great all around bike. One case, and that frame looks like it would be trashed. No disrespect, just a observation.
For my 2003 Horst Link 5-spot, with weights (PS straight or bent? It is better bent, just look at the 19th century style reinforcement on the 5-spot top tube).

The fork and seatpost have been changed since this picture, and the tires in the picture is my summer set up. This year the summer tires will be front Kenda Nevegal 2.5 stick-e, and a Kenda Nevegal 2.35 in the rear. Its a heavier set up but very grippy.
