RenierSteffen Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I am loking at upgrading to a lighter frame. I do a lot of trail riding and was considering an Ibis Mojo. What would you guys recomend?
RenierSteffen Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 Currently I have a Mongoose Teoclali Super d/sus frame.
AndreZA Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 seeing that you've got money, go for a Santa Cruz Blur. None of that girly plastic stuff.
Dirtbreath Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Ibis is the business. If you're in that league I would also recommend a Yeti 575 or a Santa Cruz Nomad. I havent actually priced them but I think they are more affordable than the Ibis.
RenierSteffen Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 Plastic is always an option Para, specially when it commes to paying......
RenierSteffen Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 You would know DB, You've been to my backyard!
Dirtbreath Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 You would know DB' date=' You've been to my backyard![/quote'] Your back yard is a piece of cake. Please come visit mine. They tie us up at shot gun point. Did you see that guy on the Ibis? Beauty!
RenierSteffen Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 Yes beauty! The Nomad is nice looking frame - Would go with max 140mm travel.
controlc Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Did you see that guy on the Ibis? Beauty! The Ibis or the guy?
Thug Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Then the SC Nomad is NOT the way to go if you want a lighter frame. I'll probably be flamed for this and yes, the IBIS is a great bike but in my opinion Carbon & Mountain Biking shouldn't be put into the same sentence. I aqree with Para, the SC Blur LT is the way I'd go.
RenierSteffen Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 The Blur LT is a nice looking frame. Pity those guys at Dragons don't answer their phones......
RenierSteffen Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 Hey Controlc, the guy was fugly, we are talking bikes here, get with the program
Spinnekop Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 This should count as "light". http://www.light-bikes.it/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=165&Itemid=2
RenierSteffen Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 Very nice Spinekop, not that mutch of a weight weenie though!
Gert Janse v Rensburg Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Very nice Spinekop' date=' not that mutch of a weight weenie though![/quote'] Ja but you will look cool on a Cannondale aswell......
Dirtbreath Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Did you see that guy on the Ibis? Beauty! The Ibis or the guy? Buck teeth, mullet, scew nose, kokeye........Yip, beauty! Renier, you got any pics of that bike? Really, really, nice. The Cannondale Prophet gets very good ratings for All Mountain Bike. Dont know it personally.
