I had the samt problem as you. Two guys, each at different bike shops, said to get the Ibis Ti mojo. I did all my research and found that Merlin has done their homework, in regards to thickness of each of the tubes. Plus if I got an Ibis I'm still sure I would be killing myself because I didn't get a Merlin. My Merlin XLM is the best investment I have made. Compared to my S-Works, it is night and day. The XLM is the best money can buy. I can't wait to get my Extralight Road which I am saving for right now.
