the 9'rs are very cool and have some advantages, I really like the Ibis frame and suspension and Ibis does not make 9'rs.? You can mount a in between? sized wheel set if you like.? I went with the SLX set as the cost for the XTR is about 6K!? For the level of my riding now and any time in the near future, this is more than adequate. the SLX group is very good, much improved over my XTR I had on the Trek.? If I have the need, all of that can be upgraded but I really bought it for the frame and suspension and how it fit me.? ?The picture if a stock photo but its the exact same bike.
And I believe that
fit is the most important part.? While Lynn is pretty down to earth, she is uncharacteristicall
y adamant about Dura Ace components on her bike, I'm fine with the second tier (and much more reasonably priced) Ultegra.
Very nice looking bike.? By the way, there is actually a well respected bike brand named Moots that I just found out is located in Steamboat Springs.? They only do titanium, so probably very upscale (jim speak for expensive).? Amazing to find a bike manufacturer located there.
Congratulations (and kudos to Phil, you deserved a new toy).
