Currently have a Spesh S-Works Carbon ’08 Enduro, which I’m getting back into riding after a year off and loving it by the way. Built it up to my own spec and will probably do the same again in a year or so if I carry on riding.

If I were to do it right now, I’d be leaning towards an Ibis Mojo HD, or Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon – Mojo slightly ahead at the moment.

So, inspire me with your carbon 5-6″ bikes, preferably some self builds too.

Any excuse… more in this Flickr set if you’re interested 🙂

Coincidentally I also owned a ’08 Enduro SL S-Works prior to this bike…

Sure that’s not an ’07?

Mine must be an ’09 if not

Nice Mojo btw – I’m undecided between white, or black though…

Now minus the Steve Peat front muddy and a neoguard in its place, plus ageing Gravity Dropper replaced with KS900r

Really getting to like this thing… The light weight can make it slightly hard work occasionally but it can be absolutely hilarious to ride.

There is a 2012 S-Works SJ Evo coming out. I’ve had 3 enduro SL’s 2 ali and 1 CF and the SJ evo is a better bike. But there are so many good bikes out there.

finally got round to taking a picture (albeit a fairly low quality one).

Crankset is about to be replaced with shimano SLX double.
