Cruisin' on my Bluebird
A few thoughts about the bike I rode today. It's a 2012 26"-er, full carbon Ibis Mojo Superlight. 3x9 spd drivetrain/Fox TALAS 115-150mm adjustable travel fork and 140mm of DW-link travel in the back. Fully lock-out-able to rigid. This machine is today "obsolete" according to todays standards. Ibis's design, when it 1st came out was far ahead of everyone and established the benchmark for carbon mtb FS rides. Destined to be a "classic" and therefore my post. ( @rcole45 ) I also have a brand-new, whiz-bang Ibis Mojo3 650b carbon machine I just built up that is supposedly "better". I ride both of these high-end machines, but there is something about this bike I also built that is difficult to put into words. It's light, (26.5lbs) really quick, a climbing joy and a wicked-fast descender in the hands of a capable rider. Still, after all these years and 6kmiles later, an ageless FS rocket. I was haulin arse today on it!! 
This "old" thing is frowned upon by the bicycle industry and "not cool" any longer. So sad. I thought of the riders here who post their vintage or classics while I was riding it at full tilt. My best goes out to all of you!
