I will try all sorts of combos but I want to go rigid.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.

What is up with your discs mate? Feel free to tell me to mind my own businessAt 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.
One of the funky Tange forks might be nice. The name escapes me.I will try all sorts of combos but I want to go rigid.
Switchblade, Big Fork, Struts.... I have something in mind, need to wait if it works.One of the funky Tange forks might be nice. The name escapes me.
I worked as a furniture mover for quite some time and that put a lot of strain on my back. Should have taken better care of myself. It was probably just one piano too many. The intervertebral discs are quite worn down and this can sometimes pinch a nerve, which is quite painful, especially if it then becomes inflamed. I don't need that too often.What is up with your discs mate? Feel free to tell me to mind my own business
This frame has a 71.5 degr. head angle when built w/ a 425mm a-c susp. fork. Don´t build it w/ a shorter fork or the riding quality will be thrown off. That´s a hardtail frame, Judy era. If you want a rigid Ibis go w/ the SS, Avion, custom etc... That´s a very precise frame on singletrack bordering on road bike steepness. Make it too steep and it loses the balance.I will probably be shot at dawn but I ride rigid Agree it is very cool
Ouch. I feel your pain.I worked as a furniture mover for quite some time and that put a lot of strain on my back. Should have taken better care of myself. It was probably just one piano too many.

A ten degree rise 135mm stem. It was designed like that.Oooohh imagine a nitto dirt drop and flat bars!
A level w/ saddle bar, 135mm 10 degree stem and a marz bomber z2 w/ 70mm of travel will get you comfortable. Maybe a 120mm stem if you are not above 5 10 height.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.
