Iwan Kemp Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Oh ok. See what you mean now.@ crow. More pics please.More pics to follow. For now... Battling with which colour match / theme scheme to go for. Frame is predominantly matte black with neon / day glow yellow accents. Have figured out a way to permanently remove the yellow bits (should I go in that direction), or alternatively I can PlastiDip them over. My inner OCD voice is however saying that there's no way in hell the matte black spray-on vinyl will match the matte black carbon and it will end up looking pretty sheet. So. If I go stealth black I will have to remove the yellow permanently. The look of bikes (hummed to the tune of The Look of Love by Diana Krall!) I like http://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/ibis/841718d1382725618t-mojo-hd-picture-build-thread-p4pb10254117.jpgWill have to go all black on the frame. Can get the links in blue or red. And then, in the A Little more Loud Corner And in the opposite cornerhttp://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb10134517/p4pb10134517.jpg Staying with the yellow on the framehttp://digitalhippie.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/rockshox-pike-650b-ibis-mojo-hdr-2.jpg Or the Wet 'n' Wild look (Yellow on the frame, bonkers everywhere else!)http://www.standmag.hu/upload/Image/web_kepek_2013/2013_05_02_nsbikedownhillvideo.jpg http://nsbikes.com/images/glowne/541.jpgOn that one you have to use your imagination as the colours are not where they would be on my bike.

Iwan Kemp Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 For a better idea of what the "yellow" looks like on the framehttp://images.mtbiker.sk/biky/big/IMG_3344-2v_5254654aefd86.jpg
Iwan Kemp Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 It's the exact same colour as the "yellow" Vitamin-P HD. Colours have just been reversed. http://singletrackworld.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/06/2013.5.29-ibis70862__low-res.jpg
awesme Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Really hope you made a nice video clip again.... G After much internal debate and tooing and froing, I decided to replace my trusty Mojo SL-R with it's bastard child, the Mojo HDR 650b http://www.ibiscycle...s/mojo_hdr650b/ http://www.ibiscycles.com/images/uploads/bikeGallery/mojo_HDR130b-Ibis7219.jpg For those who are not familiar with the bike it is the follow up to the Mojo HD with some tech borrowed from the SL-R. It is lighter and stiffer than the HD, has better clearance for tyres, XX1 / X01 drivetrains and new gen piggyback shocks. Ordered the frame in Reverse Vitamin-P and in 650b mode. 650b mode? Frame can be run130mm 650b147mm 650b (using different limbo chips and custom tuned Mazocchi)160mm 26"Went with the 130mm 650b as I already have what I need to run it 160mm 26". Will use my RockShox Monarch RC3. This way I have a killer Enduro / Trail / All Mountain slayer in one bike. Perfect.

Local agents either don't have stock of what I want or just plain downright do not carry the model I want. Have gone through Race Face, Loaded, Spank and a couple others, but in the end turned to good ol' faithful CRC for some of it. If all goes well the bike will be build next week. Till then I will post some kit pics.
awesme Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I like the little bit of yellow but will also say a total flat/matt black will look awesome. But, to bring some colour back then, how about doing some nice colour Jagwire lines? G

Iwan Kemp Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 Much rather buy Industry Nine Torch hubs. 2/3rds the price, adaptable to any "standard", faster engagement, lasts as long and is just as bling. awesme 1
rock Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Video will happen. This time with some riding footage. First need to sort wheels! What's left that's worth it?! not that flashy any more but what about a set of Stans Flow's with some custom colour coded decals from Tyrone? I thinking you might say the hubs aren't tough enough tho? Wait for the AC's.......
awesme Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 PS: like my ZTR whoops, but damm, wondering if I should not have gone Easton's, might still in the future. Got Hope Pro2 Evo's hubs atm. G Much rather buy Industry Nine Torch hubs. 2/3rds the price, adaptable to any "standard", faster engagement, lasts as long and is just as bling.
LazyTrailRider Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Easton - "What 27.5 Haven wheelset?" hoops... and lets kill the bank account, with Chris King hubs. G Yeah, Havens with I9 or CK hubs would be Killer. With a capital K. The Haven hubs look soooooo good, if only they (the rear one specifically) worked as well as CKs.
Iwan Kemp Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 can you get a XX1 driver for a King hub? Nope. Not yet and by the sound of things not anytime soon. They've only just added a pressfit bb to their line-up.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Nope. Not yet and by the sound of things not anytime soon. They've only just added a pressfit bb to their line-up. PING.... you have mail...
Iwan Kemp Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) PING.... you have mail... Yeah? EDIT: Thing is, if I read yours I have to read everybody else's and when will I find time to solve my colour coding crises?! Edited October 29, 2013 by The Crow
