Giant Faith or Yeti 575

[James Concepcion]

So I’m in the market for a used bike and have narrowed it down to a couple. I haven’t ridden in many years, but want to get back into it. Wondering what the best choice would be:

2012 Yeti 575

XTR shift pods.
Paul brake levers.
Cable disk brakes
Race Face headset
Thompson stem
Easton Monkey lite carbon fiber handlebars.
Fox Float 32 fork
Race Face cranks with triple chain rings
XT front derailleur
XT bottom bracket
Thompson seat post.
Fox Float RC23 shock w/ lockout
XT rear derailleur.
XT 9 speed cassette

2005 Giant Faith with updated parts

Fork Rock – Shox Domain RC minor scratches on lowers (I have extra springs and top crown for it)
Bars – Giant contact 29″ length
Stem – Gravity light 40mm
Rear shock – Fox DHX 4.0 upgraded internals and serviced by Fox 450LB spring
Brakes – Avid Code (serviced and bleed) 8″
Shifter – Sram X9 9 speed and X9 derailleur
Cranks – Race face diablos with MRP chain guide
Wheels – Mavic 917 with Giant hubs 26″
Tires – Vitoria Mota tubles ready 2.5 (only one ride on them)
Seatpoast – Race Face Atlas
Pedals – Easton

Any feedback would be awesome…thanks
