Built by the guys at OnePlanet Adventure at Llandegla my new Ibis Mojo... http://www.oneplanetadventure.com/

I am not cutting the fork excess until I've settled on a stem and handle bar combo. I am thinking of going for a less rise bar.

Spec:

Ibis Mojo in carbon
Fox Talas 32 140mm fork
Cane Creek headset
XTR shifters, mechs, cassette, chain, BB and cranks
Flying Snake sealed gear cables
Carbon hanger with kcnc jockey wheels
Fulcrum Red Metal 3 wheels, Fulcrum skewers
Maxxis Crossmark LUST (tubeless) tyres, 2.25 front, 2.1 rear
Easton DH Monkey carbon bars
Ritchey WCS foam grips
Thompson 90mm stem
Formula R1 brakes with braided hoses and Formula rotors
Ritchey WCS carbon seat post
Fizik Gobi XM saddle
Crank Brothers Egg Beaters SL
Race Face bash guard (removed big ring)

Very nice, I would suggest a bit more length on the rear brake hose though, needs to curve away from the top tube abit, that braided hose will eat the carbon.

I'd go for different grips, pedals and seatpost (and the frame in green or orange), but otherwise that is almost perfect. How does she ride?

OMG the bike is lush

Im just amazed that in the current economic climate people still have cash to spend on things like that

Good on you and I mean that from the heart

Out of interest what line of work are you in?

Im pretty much shafted and feel like a dead man walking at work

The recession sucks

I'd go for a different bike. £4 grand ish for a piece of plastic that offers no discernable benefit over a "real bike".
And a few that I've seen thru my workshop with "worn shock bushings" that were actually "delaminated linkage mounts" beggar belief.

Apart from the grips (and I prefer flats), that's pretty near perfect that is.
I hope you enjoy it mate.

Theres a few things on that list that don't appear to 'fit' IMO with what the bike appears to supposed to be (some kind of ££££ XC/trail bike?)

"Race Face bash guard (removed big ring)"
I'd have thought a big chainring would be good for fast pedally downs, especially given it only has a 32T now

"Fox Talas 32 140mm fork"
Any reason why QR over 15mm? Given the nature of the rest of the components, did you consider carbon DT Swiss forks?

"Ritchey WCS foam grips"
There are much less noticable places to loose weight IMO, ie not contact points

"Thompson 90mm stem"
Given the rest of the build, why not follow suit and go for something lightweight?

Whats the rubber thing on the seat QR for?

Saddle angle appears a touch backwards, just not my personal preference

Otherwise, I like it lots

Good point on cable rub I got the kit from this guy http://www.frameskin.com/ for mine. He posts a lot over on MTBR Ibis forum, he is in Aus payed by Paypal and arrived in no time. Laser cut to exactly fit the Mojo highly recommend.

Have you not been here long?
Just cause your drooling over it doesn't mean eveyone else is.
I can't see the point of rigid hardtails, but am definitely not going to complement them either..

Personnaly I thought skyline's comment was the most telling ,and if I was going to buy a Mojo, it's comments like that, that I'd want to hear and investigate further

And no I don't like the Mojo's shape, though a white one kinda turned me slightly the other day (not enough though).
Doesn't mean Damon's not going to enjoy it throughly and the best of luck to him.

"Ritchey WCS foam grips"

I find the WCS grips really comfy, although prefer the Bonty ones, the fact they save 100g over Lock-Ons is a great advantage!

I really like the Mojos, and that's a decent looking one, agree on the 15mm thru-axle, and I'd have had different wheels, otherwise very nice.

you don't have to aim for a light build with these necessarily.

Mine is 30lbs and rides sweet.
Had a go on a 24lb SL and it was scary.

Carbon isn't just lighter, it has a different feel. You may want the feel without the lightweight. Make sense?

Thats a beauty! Needs to get muddy now though.

Oh, and take the front mech set-up sticker off. Stunning looking machine though.

Definately the bling bike of the day, just needs some 'damage' from use.

Agree on bolt-thru though, I wouldn't go back to QR.

And if building it myself I'd have cut the brake hoses a bit longer...

And what does it weigh? Not what do you think, but a definate picture hanging on a pair of decent scales.

The lovely components on that almost make up for the looks of a truely hideous frame.

Bet it rides great though.

Thanks for the positive comments

I've tinkered with the setup and got it ready for riding today in my first timed event.

Bike was great.

The setup is meant as compromise between XC and Trail Centre as I do both. First impression is the bars need to be flatter more XC.
