Believe it or not, it is not blue lol, the camera cannot get the colour right, even in the flesh it is hard to pin point what colour it is. I did not have a choice over the colour, as it is the only colour that Yeti team bikes come in! 8) I am growing to love it.

Fade, humm. Believe it or not, it is how you ride. For example, when I first hit the French alps, I dragged the brakes everywhere and then I suffered from fade, as the heat build up was too much. When you learn a course, you are off the brakes, and only brake when needed, therefore they have more time to cool down, so no fade.
