Road Cycling - Pcad is an Ibis Shill

Pcad is an Ibis Shill.

Why? Because Ibis bicycles ROCK that's why. Why? Because half of you weenies think an Ibis is a flightless bird. Correct. But also a cutting edge bicycle company. Scott Nicol, the brains behind Ibis, has been building amazing bicycles for 20+ years. Why? Because half of you have never even heard of these bikes, they get like zero press anymore, but then when some magazine DOES review one of their bikes (any of them) they're all like 'wow, this is the best bike we've ever tested'. Duh. Pcad's doing BF community service.

Why? Because some companies need and deserve shills.

I ride a 1995 Ibis Titanium road. AMAZING bicycle. Certainly the best bike I'll ever have in most respects, and after 12 years, I expect to ride it another 12. Or more. Today Scott builds all CF bikes, so too late for you to buy an Ibis Ti. Too bad. But from all reports, the CF models are rather amazing too. And VERY reasonably priced these days. They are among the best bikes on the planet. They are however, cheaper than bikes they are superior to.

No need to thank me, just check out their website. Bikes Direct. God help us.

I rode an Ibis softtail MTB once with the flexy chainstay pivot (without a pivot bearing.) They make cool and revolutionary stuff. Are they not making bikes anymore? They kind of dropped off the face of the earth.

looks like a 10 hour drive just to test ride one. ill pass on that.

They are BACK. And their new bikes are very cool. Check out their website.

pinko? that's the hipster.

Remember the hand job?

Nice listing with options.

The Bow Ti was beautiful. Too bad they're not making Ti bikes now.

Pcad is, in my estimation, somewhat bipolar.

Hate to break it to you but Ibises are not flightless birds. They fly and migrate just like every other flying, migrating bird.

As far as the bikes - nice in the 90s, another Taiwanese CF bike these days milking a glorious brand.

Commie? Doesn't seem likely :p

Incorrect. An Ibis is NOT a flightless bird. They fly very well.

sorry terry... missed your post

I like the new Silk SL. Reminds me of the ADK RS a bit. Decent frame.

Wouldn't dream of it. :D

Pcad,

You may know tons about bikes, but you need to learn the definition of 'shill'

-D

The bikes look great.

Like this bit from the website about the Sram Red -

"Uh, does a complete bike weight of 14 lbs sound good to you? That’s 6.36KG for you metric lovers. You can eat more dessert if you buy this bike. Simply Red"

Ibis is a local company here in the bay area. Their mt bikes have really taken off in the past year. One of the owners of the company works out at the gym I go too. I didnt even know they do road bikes. Ill have to ask him about a trial ride.;)

I am not.

Perhaps you do have a point.

I will always long for a Cousin It. I wouldn't kick a Bow-Ti out of my stable either.

I am not.

Well played, sir.

So how much for their frames?

Website has all pricing. Very reasonable indeed. Their road bike frameset weighs < 900 grams.

Yeah, had to change the settings on my parents computer to even see the links on the right. Pretty good price but perhaps still a bit too pricey for me right now.

You have lost all credibility.
My bad.... You never had any.

This is the BF warmth that fills me with the Holiday Spirit the year 'round.

Ibis? Somebody say, "Ibis?'

Ibis, renowned here in S. Fla as the last bird to vacate (via flying I may add) before a hurricane strikes.

Of course the college program who uses one for a mascot is a bit of a disaster itself lately. To think I nearly drove 100 miles and would've spent real money to see the last "game" in the Orange Bowl.


:beer:

I see a real paradox here. It is well known that PCad loves to spend money on bike stuff. And, since he will never be Lance, he wants to make it look like he is Lance.

And yet, here he is giving advice on how to buy a great bike for very little money. I only have one question.

"What have you done with the Real Patendcad! :eek:"

Regardless, it's still the winningest program in college football the last 25 years.

People laughed after Erickson left and Butch took over. They didn't laugh for long.

Shannon will get them back. Coker rode the gravy train and didn't recruit.

When on the Treasure Coast, it's Palm City for moi.

So why don't you all have an Ibis like Pcad? What's wrong with you wussies?

$1700 for their only road frame with an EC90 fork. They claim a 55cm weighs 800 something grams.

That's lighter than Pcad's wallet.
