Heres some shots of my new steed, I must say I am totally in love with the ride - there was a few teething issues which have been sorted. You can chuck it at anything, it races up hills and is a scream coming down them.
However, i must say that I really dislike the colour, I know thats not the be all and end all but at a small fortune i guess you should like the look of it...right? I have considered having it re-sprayed but it looks like too much of a head ache, so if anyone has 9.7/8/9 who wants to swap plus cash then i would be interested

Looks good man. I wouldn't go through all the agro just for the colour. Its not hideous is it? Its cool neutral 8)0

Nothing wrong with it nice looking bike not as bling as a cube etc but then i like understated and looks classy.The family that rides together stays together !

Thanks for the nice comments, but i just have it in my head that a mid/upper mid range bike should be a shade of black0

My sensor is a black and its a pain in the arse to clean, it always looks dirty i want a bright colour next time........The family that rides together stays together !

Doesn't the EX9 have a 142 x 12 rear end whereas the EX8 has a 135 x 9 rear axle?
I'm sure the EX9 has a better shock too.... Not worth the hassle... new rear wheel, swapping shocks... F**k that!! ;0)Ibis Mojo HD 2011 www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php? ... t=12842777

Decent bike, I wouldnt worry about the colour, its a boring bike anyway. The saddle looks horrid though.0

No, I meant if anyone had a 9.7/9.8/9.9 then I would consider swapping bike for bike + cash from my side...... I gues the simplest solution would be just get my head around the colour.
Mind you, that yeti !!0 -
How about swapping for my Anthem x1 ?0

Lovely bike. I have the 2011 model. Thought it was more a brushed silver until it arrived and got a bit of a shock.
Great to ride (if/when I get the chance). The new shock/forks look pretty trick.0
