So a 26 pound Ibis Mojo would then pedal like an 11 pound bike? Sweet!

I'm thinking of getting a Mojo SL. I hear it is good for XC and DH racing.

Probly true but I hear carbon fibre has great (subatomic) damping properties.

Apparently CF is stronger than aluminium or at least that is what Ibis says. The damping properties comes from specifically engineered frame flex

So im hearing rumors Iron Horse wont be using the DW-link, But still hear that its going to be made, just not by Iron Horse... Does this also mean that after Iron Horse stops making the DW-link sunday, everyone will want a Sunday which may Raise their value?

They will be out with plenty of new bikes in 2009 and 2010, don't you worry.

I do know this. I ain't selling mine any time soon. I love that bike.

I also wouldn't let any of this dissuade me from buying an Iron Horse. Both my 6Point and my Sunday are great bikes, and for the first time in a long time, there aren't any new bikes out there tempting me away from what I'm riding now.
