Nice image! Chopper style. I've never seen silver hubs on an mtb. Unique! Looks awesome! Keep them polished! How about a head shot? It looks like you have some orange detail in the bars.

jacksonlui, you must be getting close.
 
Nice. Looks very orange. Maybe its the lighting. What weight with pedals?

Not sure of the weight, it is lighter than the sb6 I came from though with the same build. The top of the frame definitely has an orange tint to it, frame really pops in the sun I love it.
 
Was told that ibis had red paint issues or something about not liking the paint jon1. You must've been on the 1st red shipment.

Went with the basic Ibis NX build. The GX build would have been ideal with its 12 speed and 10-50 cassette but prices jump up considerably with our poor Canadian dollar. Perhaps I'll look into a Sunrace 11-46 in the future... or better yet, get into shape over the winter.

 
Not sure. Maybe Jenson preordered in advanced.
Anyways mine came and the top portion is more like orange. Kinda like the limited edition fox forks. Its pretty loud but not ugly. Just means if i dont perform on my bike I'll look like a poser. Spent over 5 hrs cleaning and putting on self healing xcel frame protection. Would be gone with inivisframe if it was available in the interest of time but i feel i did a better job and has much more coverage than what invisiframe offers at less than half the price if you dont count the time spent.

If you look under your linkage it says "I'm down". Not sure what its intended for?

I'll post more details since today will be spent on the build. The M frame with x2 shock, guard, and seat clamp is 1300g.

Roxy's design is sick. Love the curves.
The paint job is really nice and everything is of high quality. I love the little indent for the x2 climb switch. It may seem like an afterthought at first but its pretty slick only if you have an x2 otherwise its just a dent.

Ive seen the silver in person, i think its just as nice. I just didn't like the green.

Jackson, the frame looks great. Your second picture link doesn't work.

I've never heard of the frame protector you used. Do you have a link to the exact one you bought? I would like to get that on my bike when it arrives next week. Also any tips for installation?

The wait is over! Congrats!

Yes, what is that stuff? And, I spent probably 15 hours installing my invisiframe.

I find that after I take a bike apart I often wish I had paid more attention to the orientation of the parts when I'm trying to put it back together. In seems that with your link, the orientation is clearly marked.

lol. Recently, my preferred black Hadley hubs were out of stock, but there were red Hadley hubs in stock. Ultimately, I decided that I wasn't a good enough rider to sport red hubs. Maybe some day!

Yes! I think they should get rid of the HD4 moniker and call it the RoxyLo 4. Much more panache!

Jackson's Eagle landed. You'll be rolling by the weekend. Congrats!

Now i gotta look at my linkeage to see if I'm Down"
 
Its excel self healing film. Ive spent 40 on it. Here's the item number on ebay. 291738832774
Its 4 inch wide but they sell different widths, you pay by foot. It takes time cutting out the pieces so you'll need to create your own patterns. I used paper then traced it, just remember when you trace its mirror imaged because you can only trace on the non film side. Ive made that mistake twice.
15hrs for invisiframe install is really long. Ive completely covered the chainstay, thats where most of scrapes would be. The top tube was a ***** since its curved and requires a long piece. The good thing is that you can peel off and redo or squeegee out the water. Remember to use lots of spray solution on the frame, film and fingers and take your time. Try to avoid sharp edges otherwise it'll lift over time. Im happy with how it came out. Like it a lot more than invisiframe. I only had 3hrs of sleep. Gonna leave work early. [emoji6]

Btw. For those looking for this info. My ks lev 175mm dropper can be slammed all the way in the medium frame!! Nice.
