Ibis Mojo SL converted to 650B using Stan's Flow EX wheelset and Pacenti Neo Moto 2.1's. I reduced the rear travel using the guidance found here in this forum. It rails!

I have a On-One 456c SS coming on the board here soon... my sunringle rim got dented so the boys hooked me up and one should be coming in the mail soon. Pictures will be posted.
I sold it to a guy that had a rather large collection. He never took it out of the box I shipped it in and put it on the market, so I bought it back. Regarding geometry, it works for my short legs/long torso. Plus, I prefer being right over the front wheel. It's very early 1990s and that just how I like it!
SSuper clean SSetup man! Interesting how big those Quasi's look against the deep rims. Being a WI hometown resident good to see those cranks, are those their hubs too? Or maybe Paul's to match the V-levers?
Thanks! The AM rims really make the 2.0s look larger. Hubs are Chris King. I just got my Industry 9 Torch wheelset today so will most likely use those for training.
This is the Moots YBB 27.5 that I rode this weekend on a Moots test ride day in Austin. It was my first time ever riding a 27.5 and I am hooked. I have been on 26" bikes since the early 90s. I have ridden a few 29r bikes, but never fully loved the experience. I like riding tighter, twisty trails so those felt too big for me personally (5'9"). With the Moots test ride day, I first did a ride on a 29" YBB and it was pretty much inline with my previous experiences on 29". It was my first ride ever on a YBB, so that was cool. Getting on the 27.5" size felt so amazing. I figured 27.5" would be the thing for me, but this confirmed it.

Yes, they are Mavics. This had to either be the 27.5 Ybb they showed at 2013 NAHBS, or else it was one identical to it. The Mavics, and Fox fork are both pre-production items.

Photo of one of the first rides of the 140mm travel 6590b Ti/Carbon. Whilst the rest of Ireland and the UK was under a blanket of Spring Snow we found sunshine and a chilled Atlantic breeze in Oughterard, County Gallway, Ireland.

Thanks. The weight is 29lbs with pedals and normal seatpost. In this pic its a little heavier with the Reverb.
The Hex is standard issue frame so we could keep the cost down, but we will also make individual cusomizations for riders who want to adjust geo and spec to suit.
The version in the picture is actually the proto with the straight top tube, the production runs will have more curve in the top tube area...It's also a bit lighter as we shaved some weight in the shock mounts area...
Modernape, what happened to the Brigante CRB? I thought the idea of a 23lb 140mm 29er with short stays sounded pretty awesome. Especially if were priced the same as titanium and even better if had swap dropouts to run 650b.
It stalled, we had some issues with the quality that the factory could deliver and so they decided that we wouldn't produce enough volume production of this type of frame and we parted company.
We've found a new supplier and they're making our carbon links for the Hex it's a better relationship and hopefully we will revive the Carbon Brigante with them later this year.
