Hi.

Some years ago i bought a Yeti Ultimate from a friend at Yetifan.com. He bought the bike new in Colorado, i'm the second owner. When i got it, it was fully blinged with alot of fancy purple stuff and Manitou fork.
I never got used to the blinged stuff and decided to make a bit more classic build out of it. Since the bike has it's original paint and stickers i thought it would be cooler with a more period correct build.
I also think of the Ultimate as a hard working mtb, not a necklace.

I stripped of all the purple ringle, topline and other fancy stuff and replaced it with xt part's, black hyperlite and neonyellow accutrax with a-tac stem.

For a short period i rode it with full xtr m900, but i recently replaced it with period correct xt.

I'l give you three different builds. The last ones, is how it looks now. Enjoy!

I would say you may have had a slight condensation issue on the lens??

Photo's are in focus but, as you say, slightly 'soft-focus...'
