Cross posting this, but when I was searching for info and reviews on this frame before I bought it there was not much out there. So I thought a few good cross posts would help get build some knowledge.

That thing is off the chain! Yeti rear triangles are so sweet, and that sliding dropout is sick.

great looking build, thanks for posting. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts/experiences with the sliding dropout.

who makes that rear cog?
and the that looks like a kick ass single speed.

The rear cog is made by a member here you can find his thread here http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?p=7762812#post7762812

The dropout was the deciding factor for the purchase of this frame, being able to switched between a geared and ss drop out was important for me. I jumped in the deep end with this build as my first single speed. I needed a bailout option in case I found myself not being able to hack it. The dropouts themselves work beautifully, Yeti really spent some time designing this frame.

The ergon's really work, I thought about doing white foam grips for bling, but I have been happy with ergons on previous bikes so I stuck with them.

More pictures of the singlespeed drop outs, you'll notice the orientation the bolts changes towards the end of the picture series. The shop put the chips on, and in my excitement I did not notice it was wrong till I took the wheel off to take these photos.

Ill get pictures of the geared chipset tomorrow.
