I haven't priced any other open mold hardtail frames so I can't say how they compare. I will say that right now on Probikesupply.com you can get a DV9 for $1068. Yeah, it still a lot more money but you get a quality frame with a lifetime warranty. If I only needed to build up 1 bike and I liked the geometry I certainly would strongly consider paying the extra money for the Ibis. I needed 3 hardtails and I will actually need to buy 2 more frames to migrate from size medium to large when they grow. So it was a no brainer to go with the best/cheapest option I could find.
