I posted this link in another thread, but I figured I would give this build it's own thread in the Ibex forum.
I'm in the phase of gathering all the parts needed to build a Trophy SS frame from scratch. I bought my Trophy SS and then sold it a few months later. I bought a heavy Cannondale and LOVED the full suspension for bombing down hills. But, most of the trails I ride are flat, with short climbs and descents. Much more fitting for a hardtail or rigid.
I decided that I would sell the Cannondale to fund a SS build and free up some cash. So, I bought my old Trophy frame back from the second owner.
Here is the plan:
Ibex Trophy SS with a rigid CF fork and a 650b wheel up front. Surly flip flop hub with a couple White Industries freewheels. Since I'm trying to save money on this build, the rest of the parts are nothing too fancy, just leftovers and used parts. Overtime, I'll upgrade components here and there.
Progress can be seen on my Flickr page. I'll start bumping this thread once the actual build commences.
