Ibis Hakkalugi vs. BH RX Team

[DerekG]

Anyone have experience with either bike?
I currently ride a Cannondale CaadX and am looking to upgrade.
The Ibis looks pretty sweet in Phlegmish and comes with the hand-job.
The BH had mounts for both canti and disc brakes so it can go either way.

Thanks!

Def get the hand job. :eek::confused:

I've ridden the Ibis and liked it. Any specific questions on the frame?

The BH has almost the exact geometry of the CaadX which I like just fine.
The Ibis has a 1.1 degree slacker seat tube and consequently, 7 cm longer TT.

I'm not sure how this will affect fit and handling because I've only ridden my current bike and have no caparison. I've read that the slacker ST causes the bike to be less responsive.

Thoughts?

I have the Hakkalugi and really like it! The Lugi rides nice on the dirt/gravel and just as well on pavement. I haven't raced it yet, but I'm pretty sure the wouldn't be holding me back in that category either...

The design is well thought out and the bike just seems to "fit" in many ways...

Kind of tough to say about handling as I have no idea what your preferences are. The Ibis felt a little slower steering than the Bianchis/Felts that I've raced. It was still quicker than the Stevens I'm on currently which is one of the more stable bikes I've had. If the Stevens was slower the Ibis is relatively quicker feeling but not as quick steering as the Bianchi carbon bikes. Don't know if that helps?
