Default New bike build

Here is my latest bike, an Ibis Mojo. Currently a portly 29.7 lbs with room to make it lighter if needed. Fork is a new 2009 Fox Talas 36, buildkit is all XT and the ghey seatpost is the Joplin.

That's purty - and a pretty stout spec for only 29.x lbs. Nice!

Wow-that's awesome. Are you going to try and cut some weight from it? I think it's pretty sick the way it is.

I'd take an under 30 lbs AM bike any day. Very nice build.

Sick bike! I really like the looks of those Mojos, and the DW-link is great.

Under 30 lbs with a 6in fork is freakin' sweet. I only wish my trailbike was that light.

I don't think that's an '09 Talas 36. It's got the '08 stickers. If you paid for an '09 you may want to have a word with your shop. The '09s look like the photo below. The bands around the top of the lowers are a silver/mirror finish as opposed to the dark grey of the '08s.

Default You may be right.

I did not look at the decals very hard, they may have been mistaken, and if so, it was on accident, not intentional. I really dig the thru axle QR system on this fork. It is simple to use, and works great. If this fork was not so expensive, it should be on everyones 5 inch trailbike.

That's about as good as you can build up a bike. Other than the pedals I dont know how you would make it lighter.

Bro - You should have seen Diggs totally bombing down Mathis. Crazy focker didn't even lower his seat! I think he only dabbed once. Exactly the bike needed for that kind of gnar. He was killing it.

Wow, sweet build!
I can't believe that weighs in at just under 30 lbs. with so many burly components. Not questioning it; more of a comment and some envy.

Well the frame is all carbon. Sub 30lb AM bike sounds pretty cool though. I'm sure it's a blast to ride.

BTW sweet rig and 29 lbs is nothing for a 6" bike.
