Oops, bad news on the Ibis.
What a messed up company.
Apparently they tried to have Carl Strong do most of their production in Bozeman MT. That deal fell thru and Ibis was left with a serious undersupply of bikes. I wanted one semi custom thing done to my Mojo; move the cable stops to the top tube instead of the down tube. No can do says Ibis. Wouldn't even say they could do it but you'd have to wait. The Ibis guy said everything except "don't buy an Ibis". He did mention other custom steel bike makers and I'm about ready to order a Sycip, made in SF Cal. This will be a total custom so I know I'll get a perfect fit. Plus, I've read nothing but great reviews of their stuff. Check them out
HERE.
So, every dark cloud has a silver lining.
