I just bought an Ibis SS or XS frame from ebay. The dimensions listed were kind of all over the place so I took a chance it was either a 17" (wife's size) or a 20" (closer to my size) and it was neither. It actually is a 18.5" c-c with a 22.75 top tube. Anybody interested in trading it for something more my size? That is to say something similar quality and >23" top tube.
I'll post a couple pictures in a few.
I've been debating it. My IF has a ~23.25 or so top tube, my McMahon has a 23.5, the Monster has ~23.5 and the huge Stumpjumper Comp is nearer to 24". 22.75 is about what the GT Avalanche I had back in 88 had, but with a longer seat tube. I'll have to get a mile long seatpost and l-o-n-g stem to get this thing to fit.
Still, if somebody has something they are willing to trade or part trade, I'm am all ears, eyes, whatever.
I should point out I'm 6'5", hence the interest in finding something bigger.
Picture to follow.
And believe me, I've measure it 100 times hoping I miss measured it the first 99 time
Hey Flavio any idea of the year? The serial number is 1743 if that helps. Is it an SS?
As an 18.5 it's got like 72 x 71 seat and head tube angles, so the top tube will seem a little longer than something with a steeper seat tube. The 20" would still fit better but I may build this thing in the mean time with the parts off the Stumpy.
