Sorry about that.

Man, I was hoping to buy an indie-fab dw bike one day, but that thing is siiiiiick! And I'm a downhiller.



I think it's the first time I've used that icon.

 

[mack]

Wow, i might actually consider riding XC if i had a bike like that.

 

[BigMike]

[mcA896]

[Joe Pozer]

How much travel on that IBIS?

 

[binary visions]

mm hot. at first glance, one would think "VPP"

The links don't rotate in the same direction as VPP.

The bike is hot, though

 

[OGRipper]

I am really excited about this bike. I want one. And I want to ride it wearing a new Swobo jersey.

No carbon fiber for this boy, I don't trust it.

 

[zahgurim]

She's beautiful :heart:

What's retail on her?

 

[Biscuit]

You have to get used to carbon.

I got a great deal on FSA carbon cranks and bars for one of my bikes, so I figured the cranks would look cool on my wall after I broke them (I've broken several downhill cranks).

I was super nervous at first and thought every rock I hit was going to snap them, but they've totally blown me away.

When my downhill bike was out of commission, I ended up taking my 5 1/2" travel "trail" bike to N* twice. Rode everything there pretending I was on a downhill bike. Smacked the pedals HAAARRRD a couple of times, each time expecting my crank to explode. Nothing happened. Jumps and drops, nothing happened.

Just boring old, stupid light, carbon parts.

I trust carbon fiber, but for the pure drool and bling factor Ti gives me wood every time.

 

[Pau11y]

Wood is actually chemically closer to carbon than Ti. But I'm a slut and will take bling from any material thanx

 

[indieboy]

cool to see dave working with the smaller companies. i think that is a good move on ibis' part to jump head first into that ballgame. for one, i am glad to see ibis back to building bicycles. horay for scott nicols!!!

 

[douglas]

nice

at the Plattekill XC race I did last week, an expert riders carbon frame couldnt handle the course.......busted frame

 

[ridetoofast]

oh

140mm of travel ...fvck me running....all mtn goodness

 

[Senôr Lopez]

That bike is too sick! I don't know what I'd do....ride it or display it in my living room. I'd love to give that and the IF Tungsten Electrode a head to head test...... just thinking about it is giving me impure superbike thoughts.... :evil:

 

[DHS]

but how much is it??

i MUST know!

 

[Senôr Lopez]

While on the topic.....has anyone checked out the new and improved dw-link website. Interesting stuff.

www.dw-link.com

 

[The Toninator]

where do the water bottles go?

 

[SkaredShtles]

where do the water bottles go?

Focus, man. Focus.

 

[Biscuit]

where do the water bottles go?

You don't need water bottles, just a spit catcher to scoop up the drool of all the people you ride by.

 

[Andyman_1970]

What's the weight on that bad boy?

 

[Morryjg]

I think I need to change my shorts.....

Velonews has a nice write up . Still not a lot of tech details though.

 

[Biscuit]

What's the weight on that bad boy?

"Lightweight (sub 6 lb) frame, swingarm, rear shock"

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

that thing aint got sh1t on this bad boy:

 

[SkaredShtles]

I think I need to change my shorts.....

Oooooooohhhhh........ not *just* carbon, but nude carbon.

BTW - how's the garage?

 

[SkaredShtles]

that thing aint got sh1t on this bad boy:

Wow. His seat is *really* high.

 

[Biscuit]

The Silk Carbon comes in at a very competitive $1399 (without fork) and the full suspension Mojo Carbon, featuring dw-link suspension, will run you $1899.

OMFG! I could actually, theoretically, afford one!


The catch 22 is that I wouldn't be able to stand putting sub-top-of-the-line parts on it... making it unaffordable.

 

[MMcG]

How about this instead of carbon fiber -Ibis Thermoplastic Composite

 

[The Toninator]

How about this instead of carbon fiber -Ibis Thermoplastic Composite

[SkaredShtles]

How about this instead of carbon fiber -Ibis Thermoplastic Composite

WHat?!? I'm not buying a plastic bike.
