The layback on that seatpost?

It's a Sakae MTE-100... has about 50mm or so of adjustable layback.

There's folk on here with BoTM/BoTY wins who have spent absolute fortunes building winning bikes. Bikes built to a standard that would grace any museum in the world. Nothing said except nice bike etc.
But as soon as the Pros Closet enters all the petty jealous snidey remarks start!
I don't get it!

They are a trading company with there own museum.
I would guess that yeti is in there also because of its historical background why would it not be.

99% of people on here do this as a hobby, an interest.

But it’s irrelevant as it’s been entered before.

Is that front mech pulley actually used, or are you running a top pull mech?
