so smooth...

Love your steel ride colker. Its been awhile now since you've had this bike, how long? I still love my Steelman but I'm getting a Salty in the spring, the price was to good to pass up. Will post a pic of the Steelman over the weekend.

Steel forever.

hi phip,
4yrs...!!! never had a bike for so long. it's too small for me but whenever i think of buying another frame, i ride it on the trail and feel so good i end up thinking i may trade the mojo for something worse and feel stupid (i'm not talking big$ IF's, soulcrafts etc... cause i maintain the road bike vice as well). :cool:

After 2 weeks of riding I must say that I love steel.

One of the SS-letter-batch

Whoah, what's with those bars?

What gear ratio are you running w/o a tensioner, I have a 32-19 on mine, but the chain is just a little to loose and I have dropped it a couple of times on rides.

Kelly

They are Jones H-bars, best upgrade i
ever made to any of my bikes.

I run 36x18 but i don't need a tensioner because the
frame has horisontal dropouts.

I have 3.

My first one I bought new in 2001 (I think its a 1998 frame--no handjob). I use this one as my race bike--it now has different tires and a Marzocchi on it.

Then I picked up a fully rigid SS--all original except for V-brakes that were put on it. It even has a pink stem. I paid $250 for it.

My latest is is 1995 or so Mojo with a handjob. I picked it up as a frame about a year ago and I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it--now I have decided I am building it as an ugly retro bike. Pics will soon be posted.

Anyone have any extra annodized purple or green or turquoise stuff they want seel for cheap?

Have a wheel set (Mavic X517 Ceramic, DT Revolution [black], Salsa flipoffs [blue], blue spoke nipples) with purple anodized Chris King hubs (32) and Panaracer FireXC Pro kevlar [blue sidewall]. They have only 50 miles on them and were originally $790 all together. Would prefer to sell the whole set.

Make me an offer if you're interested.

[QUOTE=GotMojo?]Love my Mojo!!

What year is your Mojo? The reason I ask is I did not know that Ibis built the Mojo's with a disc tab. Your frame must be one of the last batch before they closed down.

I wish I had disc tabs on my old Ibis Alibi.

Man, I'm not sure exactly what year it is, but I think it is one of the last to come out of the factory. I found it in the mtbr classifieds, and got it just after Ibis closed down.

It sux that Ibis closed... these are awesome bikes. I want to find myself an older Mojo with the handjob... and possibly even one of their full suspension bikes.

My Mojo is a 96 and I can run 32x18 SS using a half-link

I heard that Castellano (sp??) is resurecting the Silk Ti. He will also be releasing a 29er version of the Silk Ti -- very pricey though I heard in the mid to high 3s for frame alone.

Anybody want to sell one?

Here's my wife's extra small (12.5" c-c). She's 5'2" and it's a real good fit. It seems to be a really rare metallic deep purple color, we've never seen another like it. I believe it was one of the last built in Calif before contracting out to Strong in Montana. Too new to have the hand job though.

It doesn't see much dirt any more now that she has a full suspension bike. I occasionally swap out the Marz for a Kinesis rigid fork with some slicks for pavement pounding, that makes for a pretty light combo.

The pics indoors with flash just don't portray it's true color, I'll try and post another on a sunny day.

....hey, how small is your mojo, mine is small (17" center of BB to top of seat tube) and I am looking for a 15.5" .... interested?

mine is 17" as well. if i pass by a 18.5 i'll take it.

I have a blue 18.5" mojo frame that I would consider selling. It does have the handjob--and the frame is well used with no dents.

I thought I could run this by you, or anyone for that matter for a bit of advice, as im in a bit of a quandry

I purchased a 17" ibis mojo with an old SID SL and Geax tires a while ago and have been enjoying it, although the handling is much more skittish, and on quick downhills, the front end does not always feel like it wants to hold, esp if I take a turn too wide. I been away from MTBing for a few years, but know to try to get of the brakes upon entering a tires, which doesnt always happen. I noticed some play in the fork, and lots of flex, even though Im a litght rider at 150lbs and recently I ordered a discount SID team. I also ordered some stiffer wheels.

Unfortunately I also started reading around about frame size and discovered that my 17" mojo may be too big, as I only have 1" top tube clearance with it. Im about 5'6' with a big torso and an inseam about 29" - is this adequate or essentially tempting disaster? The option is to move to an xsmall (15.5) frame as i think i can find one, but its going ot run me about $900 it looks.

Also yesterday I noticed that my seat may be racked an inch or two too far forward despite being near the back of the rails, which may be affecting the handling - although I thought you want to try and weight the front going downhill for better handling, not pull back?

I suspect I will have buy a kicked back seatpost? It may not be helping that I have a 120mm stem. These fit issues are difficult.

Anway, Im also curious how you know a bike is too small, as you noted - is that just to make the handling worse?

thanks - hopes thats not too may questions

Ben -

Check your PM.

Anybody want to sell one?
I might be convinced to sell my small SilkTi with a solid offer. Frame only and some extra shock parts to allow you to tune the rear end to your weight.

Also a Dean Colonel X-Lite (sub 3# hardtail) avail. Less than one season's use.
