[Closed] New Bike Day! (tomorrow...)

Tasty!

F m ballsack

This is mmmmm mmm

Very nice!
What wheels are those?

Ibis S35 Carbon, from what I gather basically a rebranded Stans Baron CB7.

Like it. Love the fresh looking colour.nice too only one colour abd black components too.

Looks great that!

Lucky you, didnt think we see many Ripmos this year. Nearly went for one myself, it was a toss up between a Ripmo and the Highlander. It came down to a few factors like availability and the fact I could demo the Highlander right on my doorstep.

Those Kenda tyres look wicked, be interested to hear how you get on with those.

Simple colour scheme and lack of garish logos. It's a thumbs up from me.

Hope the shop is better at bike building than they are at photography 😜

Shocking pictures.

Eh!?!

Nothing wrong with ‘em

Well, first ride is out of the way, just some local stuff in the woods for a first shakedown. Few tweaks from Ibis recommended settings already, still more tweaking to go but Properly impressed already by the DW link. @dumbbot, Tyres also seem great though I wasn't pushing it too hard yet. Certainly no lack of bite from the Hellkat on the front in leafy/loamy stuff thats quite 'drifty' anyway.

Awwrrrrr lovely that is!

That sure is nice. I have a Ripmo AF and bloody love it.
Just bought a Nukeproof scout from Evolution cycles and bought some Ibis spares from them since I’ve had the RAF. They’re a great bunch and the shop has everything you could want, just wish they could move the shop about 30 miles west 😄

Sweet ride. The OTT feature on that fork works really well too.

Garden could do with some attention from a rake or leaf blower.

Wow, lovely bike. Can you tell me about the price and also where you bought it. I want to write a review of this bike and publish it.

I always loved that head badge. Lovely looking bike, enjoy it.

A few hours of faster/firmer trails on Sunday, including running one section about 15 times (pictured braking bumps into a tight corner, certainly got the fork thinking) I'm hooked. Suspension tweaks and tyre pressures a Lot closer now, starting to feel amazing. (The high speed compression knob on the fork was really stiff, and turns out set quite a chunk too high). Tyres really hook up too, first time I've used Kenda for about 20 years, they are back in the game.

Nice! Ibis are making so ace bikes, things have moved on a long way since my Mojo HD but I do still miss it sometimes!
