Picked it up tonight. Doesn't everyone keep their new bike in the kitchen?

I need to put on my wheels, I got the call to run over to the shop as I was leaving PT so I didn't have them with me. But @Tony S it weighs 27.18 pounds. I will reweigh once the new wheels are on. :thumb: I did ride it around the shop and I am lovin' the Yeti feel. Bike is stock with the exception of the Enve DH 800 bar and Stem. Cant see in the pic, but the raw carbon is sweet. Thinking Ergon e2 Turq grips?

@Tony S you'd appreciate this. We bought our home as it was going into foreclosure. the previous owner was rather eccentric and theres a bunch of really cool features in the house., The kitchen has Wolf commercial range and he was a macro-vegan and ate almost all food raw.

I put my old (not that worn) Ergons on my new bike. They're just black, though.

Given that you are doing the "raw" (black) color, I think the Yeti blue grips are perfect.

Looks great, and no, blue grips are absolutely not too much bling for that bike.

Beautiful bike, @Ron! But you got the tires dirty so now the wife is going to make you keep it out of that equally beautiful kitchen.
