Today might have been one of the greatest days of my life! Fed Ex dropped off my new Yeti 575 Enduro at the bike shop i work at today and my manager was nice enough to let me build it up while on the clock! First trail ride tomorrow morning at 7 and i cant wait to get my new baby out on the trail! But here it is! tell me what you think!

Stokage! Looks nice, man. The only things I'd change right off the bat are swapping out for some quality pedals and a shorter stem.

what bturman said. i'd also convert to chainguide and a 2 speed set up in the front there. but she's looking really nice, i'm sure she rides well!!

Out of curiosity, how does a shorter stem affect the performance of the bike?
Shorter stems make the bike feel less "twitchy" and really go a long way toward improving bike control. Personally, I never run anything longer than a 60mm stem, even on my trail bike. 50mm on my DH and DJ rigs.
