can the slr be setup as 1x10 or 1x9 with the mrp mini g?

 

got mine set up as 1 x 10 with the mrp xcx chain guide (no bashguard) using the direct mount.

 

Hope Ibis can figure out something like a mini g for slr in the future...

 

ahh.....not designed for it.....you can mount an XCX chain guide using the direct mount on the frame

 

 

Congrats. Nice build!

 

Nothing like a bit of unobtanium. Titanium interlok spacers. I put too many spacers on on purpose. Ill ride it before I cut off some more steerer just to make sure.

 

ridden at Conway Robinson

Bright and Early after some snow.....two different color grips as one of them was shredded by a friend of mine who I "dumbly" decided to let ride my bike. OTB and dropped bar onto a rock and sliced the other black grip.

P.S. There is black electrical tape covering those turqouise dashes on the top and down tube....which why you wont see them on this frame!

 

That is some hilarious mud !!! -- sticks better than Velcro !!! - thanks for sharing, and way to get the new bike DIRTY !!!

 

Mojo SL-R is in da house...

Well apart from a trim to the rear brake line, a tweak to the steer tube length and fitting a mini (mud) skirt, my South Beach White SL-R is ready to roll around some trails. The kit is done too. I'll put together a more detailed build list at some point... but essentially XO Silver 2x10, Hope Pro3 SP-XC6 hoops (No Tubes Crest rims), Fox Fork and truvativ bar and stem. I've got a reverb on the desk for a little later too... but now it's time to ride. :thumbsup:

wow, this is a work of art. i understand why you have it covered in frameskin. will you ride it off-road? snickering away.....

Another slammin' Ibis. the blue links and white combo is really cool as well as the stem and grips, rims.....damn nice! we look forward to sme vids and or more pics! way to go dude..

 

SLR w/ 650b front

Mine came in a hair under 27. For the most part components are off my 09 SL (WTF kit) but with heavier additions, i.e. king hub, HD rear tire , reverb seatpost. Now i need to get it out of the basement!

 

Nice work fishboy, now get that rear brake line on the inside of the strut

Will be ordering a kit when my SLR gets here.

 

Wow, blue and orange has got to be the worst color combo I've seen yet
Nice bike though

 

Blue and Orange - must be a Denver Broncos fan....

 

Anybody recently tried fitting 650b wheelset on the SL-R?

I think derby tried it on the pre-production frame and said it didn't fit...wondering if there is any new updates to this claim.

Thanks!

 

why would you do that?

 

It's gone all quiet...

 

so many people, so few SL-Rs

 

When I finally receive mine I'll post some pics! Guessing that orange was the wrong colour to choose:madman:

You are right, the sl-r orange is frightening for my taste , it is likely you're in time to change the color of your frame :thumbsup:

 

IMO, the orange is a damn nice color. I'm sure Ibis is just about there to getting everything under control, though wasn't the small orange the very last up for production?

 

Yes I think you are right, but mine was a Medium ordered 10 months ago, still cant get a firm date from my LBS or the distributor? would have thought it would all be resolved by now but still cant get any solid information:madman:

 

Has anybody ordered the Silver with blue links? I would like to see one. I may change my order to that instead of the orange w/black links.

 

I put in an order for XL silver with black link in December and waiting... Anyone heard of any XL's being sent out?

 

I've had my XL silver on order since August. Just got word from my LBS (who was paraphrasing an email from Ibis)....

LBS: "Customer wants to know when the XL Silver will be in stock."
Ibis: "We have a black XL if you want it."
LBS: "Maybe, customer wants to know what the wait will be for an XL Silver."
Ibis: "We can send you the black XL tomorrow."
LBS: "Is there an estimated timeframe for an XL in silver?"
Ibis: "It's black, with blue striping."
LBS: "Black, you say?"
Ibis: "You can have the black in a couple days, we're shipping it out now."
LBS: "I guess we'll have him take a look, but in the meantime, do you have an ETA on the silver line of SL-Rs?"
Ibis: "Don't hold your breath."

 

New Build - Comments, Advise...Pls

Hi all,

I have just moved to Boston, USA from the UK and im going to treat myself to a new bike/Build...My Orange Five Pro is better suited to the UK ( this is what i have told the wife!:thumbsup:

I would welcome comments/recommendations on the build below as im going to place the order next week...If you see something and you think i would change that or its not worth the money on that part...please advise also.
Im looking at Easton Carbon Wheels but dont think the price for 200g is worth it...can you convince me?

Im booked onto this later this year and want to use the bike for this type of riding also.

Over the Edge Sports in Fruita has a Large (19") SLR with an XT build kit, formula 1 brakes, Fox Float fork, Stan's ZTR Arch wheels, black with the blue highlights, looks pretty sweet, and it's for sale.

 

Need a medium...thx anyway

 

Well, since we're on the topic of shameless bike shop plugs, here goes. Fat Tire Cycles in Albuquerque, NM has a medium and large with XT builds in the Black/Blue, and a large XO kit in DB5 Silver. All the bikes are using Stan's/Ibis wheels and formula brakes.

 

SOLD! 1 DB5 Silver!

 

very nice indeed.......how much did those wheels weigh (kings and arch ex) when they came out of the box? just curios

 

1668g with flap and valve

Been a while since I took the bike out....had a blast. I played around with the propedal on the rp23 and I could really feel the difference compared to the Triad2 that was on my old Stumpy.

Noticed a little bit of gimble knock from the Angleset, but I think I fixed it by tightening the topcap.

The bike is basically all done, but I'm thinking about building up a new wheelset...carbon rims from light-bicycle, cx-rays, and CK hubs.

 

what rimson this bad boy with black spokes and silver hubs may be sick.....

 

the other option is getting those schwalbe racing ralphs in black with the white stripes...that would be sick....

 

I've been thinking of painting over the blue on the black frame. What do you guys think?

 

I think you should paint thosee top tube stripes white and on the seat tube...the inner chainstay turqouise should be blacked out...that would make it an unique bike....if not get some white rims and the bike will pop, if you are going to black it all out...

 

that would make it an unique bike

You guys are hard to please-I thought just possessing an SL-R was unique enough! :smilewinkgrin:

If I hadn't been following this thread for so long I'd almost believe you guys didn't know the blue was going to be on the black frames. All black is pretty sweet, though. Since I already have an all black bike (my commuter bike, where perhaps visibility should have been more important? ut: A good excuse for nice lights, anyway) I'm not interested in another all black bike. I picked up my forks from the painter on Tuesday and the shop is reassembling them. Getting the black and matte level matched was a little challenge for the painter (he paints motorcycles for a living), but he pulled it off on the second try with a different matting agent. He matched the blue nicely, too. I'll have pics in a couple weeks once the bike is all together and fit is finalized.

Painting over the frameskin is an interesting idea. I'd worry about the adhesive of frameskin and the flat paint peeling off, but maybe fishboy2807 could address his thoughts on that. I had an old beater commuter bike that I sprayed flat black using aerosol and, although the flat black did not have long lasting wear properties, it was super easy to touch up. You could just spray over everything and not have to worry about matching at all that way. Resale time, just touch it up and it will look like new.
