29er / Re: Best frame for 120mm fork build? (Think Ibis Tranny)
« on: August 22, 2014, 09:25:00 PM »
Thanks.  Looks pretty good.  From everything I've read, these frames all have an integrated headset fitment.  That means no angleset I think.  Has anyone found a way to use an angleset to slacken the head tube angle a degree or so?  Then you could use a 51mm offset fork and the steering feel would mimmick the Ibis Tranny.

29er / Best frame for 120mm fork build? (Think Ibis Tranny)
« on: August 19, 2014, 08:44:07 PM »
I just read through a whole bunch of posts, and can't seem to find this covered.

What is the best frame to come as close as possible to an Ibis Tranny 29er with the 120mm fork option?  Specs below.

I have an S-works race bike.  90mm travel, super light.  Super steep angles.  Looking for more of an all mountain hard tail for when the trails get gnar.  Possibly running this bike for BC Bike race next year if the build goes well....  I'll need to run 2.35 racing ralphs.

Thanks, any help appreciated.
