The New Ibis Certainly Appears to be Full Suspension

Oh, sanity prevails. No pressfit.

Spline guide mounts, like Yeti did, is the way to do it.

“This picture was posted under the amusing title, Spliny the Elder – if you know beer, you’ll get the reference.”

Pliny the Elder was a Roman naturalist and philosopher, circa 23-79AD; more likely the source for the name.

so its a Mojo HD 650b…

Gettin’ a bit old at this point, epo.

Don’t like the price of top end equipment? Don’t buy it. As is, there’s plenty of great bikes available at virtually all price points these days.

If nobody were buying $3K frames, then manufacturers would be making them for very long, right? Yet they continue to release even more models. Why? <econ 101 stuff, brah.

Who has $5K for a bike? Those who saved $50/wk for two years, those who got a good education and subsequently a good job, people who don't own cars because they like bikes better, and many many more.

Probably not too many folks living in their parents basement, though.

If Ibis gave a case of Pliney the Elder with purchase of this bike I would buy regardless of wheel size.

You could get the mid $3k “special blend” HD and upgrade components as you go. Not all rad bikes are $5000.

160mm in 26 inch mode, 130mm in 650B mode. Pictures look like there’s a different shock mount for the top of the shock to convert the rear. I can see text that reads 650b on the alloy part.
