I have just completed my IP-057 (from iPlay)..

Build is as follows:

XT groupset (w/180mm Icetech rotors.. i am fat so i need all the help i can get)
Thomson seat/stem
IPLAY carbon bar
IPLAY headset
SEAT (old clunker i had laying around.. will replace shortly)
IP-057 BSA / 19" / 142x12
Fork IPLAY IP-FK-052
Tires RARA 2.2 (yes i know i have a set of SB8 on it but it will be removed later).. I am running tubes.. never made the switch to tubeless
Rims Light Bicycle RM2902
Spokes DT Swiss Revo
Nipples DT Swiss Alloy (i did use nipple washers from bikehubstore)
Hubs BikeHubstore F:MTB180  R:MTB270

total weight (on a digital bathroom scale) 21.8 lbs





Ride impressions:

This thing just wants to roll.. it seems like it has a motor on it on the downhills
On the smooth flat sections it seems really planted just turn and it turns feels like it is on rails.
Climbs like a goat.. it is ridiculous.
When it gets really rooty/rocky it is a rough ride.. gotta learn to pick good lines.. might be something to do with me running tubes @ 33psi (again i need to loose a few lbs)..

Build:

Ugg had to break the lines and i spilled too much fluid so i had to bleed the rear line..
Other than that it was nothing fancy just went together with no other issues.
Wheels came out ~1570grams and built fairly easy.

Things i would have changed:

Tires: something a bit wider..
Other than that nothing.

Nice work !

Very clean looking.

Looks really nice! How much do you weight if you don't mind me asking?   

Go tubeless you'll never go back!!

Man, another rigid fork!  I need to get off my butt and install mine.  I've been itching to try it. 

The build looks great.  Except for that seat! 

i am 215... when i was racing alot i was down to 170.... if i go under 170 i was slower..

gahh.. i know about the seat.. but it has my butt grove in it and it is comfy

Looks good.  I'm about the same weight with hopes to hit 200 at best.

When looking at seats check out Ergon, pricy, but I'm loving mine.

The seat is the most personal part of a bike. I think it's great that you have a badass bike with the "exact saddle you prefer". It might just start a trend =]
