1995 Ibis Mojo

[KayOs]

Hello folks,

thanks to a hint from @STX-RC II and with the help of @Guinessisgoodforyou and @bagpuss it finally happened.
Yesterday I had this in the mail.

So thanks a lot mates!

I've been looking for a frame like this for about 10 years and it's finally here.


The condition could be nicer but I won't complain. If everything is perfect there is nothing to do anymore. And besides that a mountain bike is not a collection cup but is driven, ideally.


In addition, I have thereby again the luxury to consider whether I want to maintain the condition of the frame or repaint it. At the moment I am still completely unsure.


I have also already collected a few parts and hid them well for this occasion. I think they will fit the bike very nicely.


I also already found a fork I would love to see on it.... But as I am still in the process of getting it I won't talk about it for now.

I hope I can work on the bike in the coming weeks and I will keep you updated if you want to.

Glad you got it mate. Original paint vote from me. Then when you chip it beating the crap out of it you're not crying into your beer. Some very nice parts there

Love it. Very light. I have a 00 back home. Ibis sizing and fit does not work well for me though.

Paint is fine. It´s well worn. And black is beautifull.

Keep the paint. This is the way.

This is the best MOjo vintage: Prestige tubing. I would go w/ a long stem and flat bar, not the riser but fit is highly personal.

I'm old I need all the help I can get with a riser

Raise the stem w/ spacers. Level saddle and hbar. Go w/a 22.5in bars. Susp should be 2.5in of travel. Like a Judy or Marz. height. Ibis mojos are the coolest steel hardtails ever made.

I will probably be shot at dawn but I ride rigid Agree it is very cool

At the moment, I'm leaning towards leaving the frame as it is, maybe with some touch-ups, but I'll have to find out more about that.

Since my intervertebral disc are 30 years ahead of the rest of my body in terms of wear and tear, I probably won't be able to do without the riser, even though a long stem and a flat bar would probably look very cool.
