29er / Re: Best frame for 120mm fork build? (Think Ibis Tranny)

From the drawings I have same length stays and identical HT and ST angles on the two bikes.  The 057 "looks" stouter and better able to survive a rear point impact, but I don't own either frame.

Good to hear.  I've been on the alloy bike for quite a while and it beats me up, but it served it's purpose well when I needed a cheap replacement frame for my fully while in college.  I've worked in shops over the years so I feel comfortable building up my own bike and happy to not feed the large manufacturers.  Thanks for the info!

Hi!

I'm currently on a 2012 superfly AL and am considering a swap to either an ip057 or ip256.  For those of you who have these frames how do they ride? I'd consider getting a newer superfly mostly due to the rave ride reports, but I can't ignore the price of these frames.  I could get a frame with BSA (which I prefer) and run everything but my 27.2 seatpost. Facts about me: 6' 2" XC/endurance racer, 175lbs.  Should I make the jump.  I'd shave just at a pound off bike setup and hopefully gain some comfort.  I dig the slack HA on these and realize they'd work great with my G2 offset reba.
